Background
I do have a section for Emily Dickinson, but this seemed to be a fiting match.
Robert Gibbings Dublin under Snow 1918
A description of the experience
The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson – Emily Dickinson
I think the hemlock likes to stand
Upon a marge of snow
It suits his own austerity
And satisfies an awe
That men must slake in wilderness
And in the desert cloy
An instinct for the hoar the bald
Lapland’s necessity
The hemlock’s nature thrives on cold
The gnash of northern winds
Is sweetest nutriment to him
His best Norwegian wines
To satin races he is nought
But children on the Don
Beneath his tabernacles play
And Dnieper wrestlers run
