WHITE FIELDS by James Stephens ( 1880-1950) Irish novelist and poet
In the winter time we go
Walking in the fields of snow;
Where there is no grass at all;
Where the top of every wall,
Every fence, and every tree,
Is as white as white can be.
Pointing out the way we came,
Every one of them the same
All across the fields there be
Prints in silver filigree:
And our mothers always know,
By the footprints in the snow,
the children go....
"Snow falling soundlessly in the middle of the night will always fill my heart with sweet clarity." -Novala Takemoto
