From the Poets
LONDON SNOW. When men were all asleep the snow came flying, In large white flakes falling on the city brown, Stealthily and perpetually settling and loosely lying, Hushing the latest traffic of the drowsy town; Deadening, muffling, stifling its murmurs failing; Lazily and incessantly floating down and down: Silently sifting and veiling road, roof and railing: Hiding difference, making unevenness even, Into angles and crevices softly drifting and sailing .... —Robert Bridges.
