SNOW UPON THE HILLTOPS Snow upon the hilltop
Drifting all around,
Flakes so light and gentle
Covering the ground.
Snow upon the hillside
Glistens neath a sky of blue,
A robin hops from branch to branch
His breast a rosy hue.
Sunlight casts a radiance
Dazzling to the eye,
Gleaming bright as diamonds
On the frozen stream nearby.
Soon the snow has melted
Gone with the morning dew,
Winter is forgotten
As spring returns anew. By Doris Braithwaite
