The long days came and went the riotous bees	A
Tore the warm grapes in many a dusty vine	B
And men grew faint and thin with too much ease	A
And Winter gave no sign	B
But all the while beyond the northmost woods	C
He sat and smiled and watched his spirits play	D
In elfish dance and eery roundelay	D
Tripping in many moods	E
With snowy curve and fairy crystal shine	B
	-
But now the time is come with southward speed	F
The elfin spirits pass a secret sting	G
Hath fallen and smitten flower and fruit and weed	F
And every leafy thing	G
The wet woods moan the dead leaves break and fall	D
In still night watches wakeful men have heard	H
The muffled pipe of many a passing bird	H
High over hut and hall	D
Straining to southward and unresting wing	G
	-
And then they come with colder feet and fret	I
The winds with snow and tuck the streams to sleep	J
With icy sheet and gleaming coverlet	I
And fill the valleys deep	J
With curved drifts and a strange music raves	K
Among the pines sometimes in wails and then	L
In whistled laughter till affrighted men	L
Draw close and into caves	K
And earthy holes the blind beasts curl and creep	J
	-
And so all day above the toiling heads	M
Of men's poor chimneys full of impish freaks	N
Tearing and twisting in tight curled shreds	M
The vain unnumbered reeks	N
The Winter speeds his fairies forth and mocks	O
Poor bitten men with laughter icy cold	I
Turning the brown of youth to white and old	I
With hoary woven locks	O
And grey men young with roses in their cheeks	N
	-
And after thaws when liberal water swells	P
The bursting eaves he biddeth drip and grow	Q
The curly horns of ribbed icicles	R
In many a beard like row	Q
In secret moods of mercy and soft dole	D
Old warped wrecks and things of mouldering death	S
That summer scorns and man abandoneth	S
His careful hands console	D
With lawny robes and draperies of snow	Q
	-
And when the night comes his spirits with chill feet	I
Winged with white mirth and noiseless mockery	T
Across men's pallid windows peer and fleet	I
And smiling silverly	D
Draw with mute fingers on the frosted glass	U
Quaint fairy shapes of iced witcheries	U
Pale flowers and glinting ferns and frigid trees	U
And meads of mystic grass	U
Graven in many an austere phantasy	U
	-
But far away the Winter dreams alone	V
Rustling among his snow drifts and resigns	U
Cold fondling ears to hear the cedars moan	V
In dusky skirted lines	U
Strange answers of an ancient runic call	D
Or somewhere watches with antique eyes	U
Gray chill with frosty lidded reveries	U
The silvery moonshine fall	D
In misty wedges through the girth of pines	U
	-
Poor mortals haste and hide away creep soon	W
Into your icy beds the embers die	I
And on your frosted panes the pallid moon	W
Is glimmering brokenly	D
Mutter faint prayers that spring will come e'erwhile	D
Scarring with thaws and dripping days and nights	U
The shining majesty of him that smites	U
And slays you with a smile	D
Upon his silvery lips of glinting mockery	T
