February / H. Cordelia Ray


February

    The icicles upon the pane
    Are busy architects; they leave
What temples and what chiseled forms
    Of leaf and flower. Then believe
That though the woods be brown and bare,
    And sunbeams peep through cloudy veils,
Though tempests houwl through leaden skies,
    The Springtime never fails!

~~
H. Cordelia Ray (1852-1916)
from Poems, 1910
