  • PPB: The Snowing of the Pines / Thomas Wentworth Higginson

    From George J. Dance@21:1/5 to All on Sun Nov 28 09:43:34 2021
    Today's poem on Penny's Poetry Blog:
    The Snowing of the Pines, by Thomas Wentworth Higginson

    Softer than silence, stiller than still air
    Float down from high pine-boughs the slender leaves.
    The forest floor its annual boon receives
    That comes like snowfall, tireless, tranquil, fair.

    True, that.

    I've only read a couple of Higginson's poems, but I've enjoyed the ones I've found. These days he's most famous as the critic who "discovered" Emily Dickinson; his poetry often gets overlooked.
