Sunlit cold winter morning -
No bluer cloudless sky than yours.
Leaf and branch
Shadowed on stone -
A sharp reflected reality.
Bracing cold your shining sun -
No day in all the year - not one -
With your vivid clarity.

Truth will wear a winter face
When suddenly it comes -
A light as bright
A light as clear
Never shone -
Answered all our questions why -
Embraced with joy
Like the sun in a winter sky.
