It is the bitter time of year / When iron is the ground, / With hasp and sheathing of black ice / The forest lakes are bound, / The world lies snugly under snow, / Asleep without a sound.
All the night long in trooping squares / The sentry stars go by, / The silent and unwearying hosts / That bear man company, / And with their pure enkindling fires / Keep vigils lone and high.
