A Lady of the SnowsHarriet Monroe
From “Mountain Poems”
T
Oh, so tenderly
In the summer sun!
Yet she has power to baffle avalanches—
She, rising slenderly
Where the rivers run.
Spread alluringly
Her thin sea-green dress!
Now from white winter’s thrall the sun would free her
To bloom unenduringly
In his glad caress.
