The Stars Stand Watch Along the road, the willows grow. Now touched by moonlit frost, they glow And other shrubs, all rimed with white, Add icy beauty to the night. Among the trees, the mists arise To drift like smoke into the skies And only stars, a-blaze on high, Stand watch to see me passing by. The frozen fields that stretch around, Are not disturbed by any sound, Except the crunch of boot in snow And high above, the mountains show Their frigid faces, bleached and bare. A frozen wilderness lies there! When winter first began to creep And ushered in hibernal sleep, I made a promise I now keep, That on a clear and moon-blessed night, I'd take a walk to see the sight Of my small world in black and white!
