<p>&ldquo;To Autumn&rdquo; verse 1 by Keats</p>
<div class="verse">Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness,
Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun;
Conspiring with him how to load and bless
With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run;
To bend with apples the moss&rsquo;d cottage-trees,
And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core;
To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells
With a sweet kernel; to set budding more,
And still more, later flowers for the bees,
Until they think warm days will never cease,
For Summer has o&rsquo;er-brimm&rsquo;d their clammy cells.</div>

<p>Poetry vol.71 no.1 - October 1947 - pg.23 - https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poetrymagazine/browse?contentId=24836</p>
<p>How hard the year dies: no frost yet
On drifts of yellow sand Midas reclines
Fearless of moaning reed or sullen wave
Firm and fragrant still the brambleberries
On ivy-bloom butterflies wag</p>
<div class="verse">Spare him a little longer, Crone
For his clean hands and love-submissive heart</div>

Or so it seems.

<div class="verse">Is this it, then,
My last resting place &mdash;
Five feet of snow!
(Kore ga maa tsui no sumika ka yuki goshaku - p.37 - winter)
A blessing indeed &mdash;
This snow on the bed-quilt,
This, too, is from the pure land

<div class="verse"><em>Lament for Pasiphaë</em>
pg.206
Dying sun, shine warm a little longer!
My eye, dazzled with tears, shall dazzle yours
Conjuring you to shine and not to move
You, sun, and I all afternoon have laboured
Beneath a dewless and oppressive cloud&ndash;
A fleece now gilded with our commen grief
That this must be a night without a moon
Dying sun, shine warm a little longer!
Faithless she was not: she was very woman
Smiling with dire impartiality
Sovereign, with heart unmatched, adored of men
Until Spring&rsquo;s cuckoo with bedraggled plumes
Tempted her pity and her truth betrayed
Then she who shone for all resigned her being
And this must be a night without a moon
Dying sun, shine warm a little longer!
<em>Like Snow</em>
pg.143
She, then, like snow in a dark night
Fell secretly. And the world waked
With dazzling of the drowsy eye
So that some muttered &lsquo;Too much light,&rsquo;
And drew the curtains close
Like snow, warmer than fingers feared
And to soil friendly;
Holding the histories of the night
In yet unmelted tracks
<em>She Tells Her Love While Half Asleep</em>
pg.173
She tells her love while half asleep
In the dark hours
With half-words whispered low:
As Earth stirs in her winter sleep
And puts out grass and flowers
Despite the snow
Despite the falling snow</div>
<p>&ldquo;Winter&rdquo; by Eric Whitacre, text by Edward Esch - https://ericwhitacre.com/music-catalog/winter</p>
<div class="verse">I.
The snow is falling,
sleeping,
whispering,
dreaming of water.
II.
Gold, silver, iron, stone;
pure and gentle, silently melting,
the sun sings softly through the quiet ice.
III.
A single snowflake awakens,
shimmers,
glows,
watches the world with weary eyes,
darkens,
settles,
and disappears.</div>
