A WINTER PICTURE by Agnes Ethelwyn Wetherald (1857 – 1940) Canada

An air as sharp as steel, a sky Pierced with a million points of fire; The level fields, hard, white and dry, A road as straight and tense as wire. No hint of human voice or face In frost below or fire above, Save where the smoke's blue billowing grace Flies flag-like from the roofs of love. From Winter Solitudes, 2006 (Poetry and Good Cheer Press)
