A JANUARY MORNING - ZaunköniG - 24.06.2007 The glittering roofs are still with frost; each worn Black chimney builds into the quiet sky Its curling pile to crumble silently. Far out to westward on the edge of morn, The slender misty city towers up-borne Glimmer faint rose against the pallid blue; And yonder on those northern hills, the hue Of amethyst, hang fleeces dull as horn. And here behind me come the woodmen's sleighs With shouts and clamorous squeakings; might and main Up the steep slope the horses stamp and strain, Urged on by hoarse-tongued drivers--cheeks ablaze. Iced beards and frozen eyelids--team to team, With frost-fringed flanks, and nostrils jetting steam. |
