Thursday extracts: It's still snowing!

April Snow

by Caroline Spencer

The green was creeping o'er the brown,
The skies dropt bluebirds yesterday;
Again today the snow is down,
And spring a thousand miles away.

Yeah - I know it's still March. But it won't be on Monday.

An advent calendar of sorts Day 22. (Also a Thursday extract)

From The Winter's Spring by John Clare

I love the snow, the crumpling snow
That hangs on everything,
It covers everything below
Like white dove's brooding wing,
A landscape to the aching sight,
A vast expanse of dazzling light.
