Analysis of The Frosted Pane
Sir Charles George Douglas Roberts 1860 (Douglas) – 1943 (Toronto)
One night came Winter noiselessly, and leaned
Against my window-pane.
In the deep stillness of his heart convened
The ghosts of all his slain.
Leaves, and ephemera, and stars of earth,
And fugitives of grass, --
White spirits loosed from bonds of mortal birth,
He drew them on the glass.
