Snow clothd valley

Hail scenes of Desolation & despair 
Keen Winters over bearing sport & scorn 
Torn by his Rage in ruins as you are 
To me more pleasing then a summers morn 
Your shatterd scenes appear despoild & bare 
Stript of your clothing naked & forlorn 
Yes Winters havoc wretched as you shine 
Dismal to others as your fate may seem 
Your fate is pleasing to this heart of mine 
Your wildest horrors I the most esteem
The ice-bound floods that still with rigour freeze 
The snow clothd valley & the naked tree 
These sympathising scenes my heart can please 
Distress is theirs & they resemble me
