Jack Frost
by
Helen Bayley Davis


Next
 

Someone painted pictures on my
    Windowpane last night —
Willow trees with trailing boughs
    And flowers, frosty white,

And lovely crystal butterflies;
    But when the morning sun
Touched them with its golden beams,
    They vanished one by one!

One blizzard here in NYC many, many years ago, such a frost appeared on one of our windowpanes. It looked like "Bambi" - I could not resist snapping a photo. Lo and behold upon entering in a photo slide competition in my Camera Club, I won an "Honorable Mention." Thank you for the remembrance.

I had never read this poem before and I am so glad to be left with that perfect image on the windowpane. I will never look at a frosted window in the same way - ever again -thanks!
