Analysis of Winter's beauty
Hoar frost covers the landscape, white
Snow has been falling over night
Frost flowers grow on the pane, bright
Snow covers a crow nest in the height
Icicles hanging from the roof's rim
Snow flakes are dancing around, grow dim
Bits of ice sparkle like diamonds, bright
Wolves are howling in the distance, fright
The snow princess flits across the ice in light
Everything seems to be alright
