A WINTRY MILE

<bgsound src="snowside.mid" loop="true" autostart="true" hidden="true"> Walk a mile in the winter twilight,
 Mark its whiteness and breathe 
its cold,
Reach your hand to the sunset embers,
Warm them there, and when
 you are old

 There will be times when you will
 recall it: 
 A beautiful, perfect, shining while,
That will glow in your heart like a 
  splendid diamond---
You will remember that winter mile.
  
You will recall the clean cold stinging
Of winter wind on your throat 
and lips;
The lift of your heart in its
 youthful gladness,
The tingle of blood to your
 finger tips;

 You will have drawn to your
 heart forever
This hour, the snow, the light
 in the west---
Walk awhile in the winter twilight, 
Store its treasures within your breast.
