February

Oh, I'm weary of the snow heaps on the hillside
  And I'm weary of the bitter, barren sky;
Lonely winds are calling through the hemlocks,
  And the shifting dead leaves shiver at their cry.

Yesterday, - to-morrow, - in the hemlocks,
  Little winds of summer laughing low,
But I'm weary of the frozen, moaning branches,
  And the endless, dreary wastes of drifting snow.

- Alzada Comstock, 1910.
