Lambs that learn to walk in snow

When bleating clouds the air

Meet a vast unwelcome, know

Nothing but a sunless glare

 

Newly stumbling to and fro

All they find outside the fold

Is a wretched width of cold

As they wait beside the ewe

Her fleeces wetly caked, there lies

 

Hidden around them, waiting too,

Earth’s immeasurable surprise.

They could not grasp it if they knew

What so soon will wave and grow

Utterly unlike snow
