A blanket of snow covering the country lanes

The cold winds blow across empty fields filled with snow

A glittering white quietness fills the land of the folk who are plain.

Icicles hanging from barn roofs glitter in the morning sunshine

An impish mittened hand breaks off a tiny icicle to lick

as families enter covered buggies to join the traveled lines.

The rhythmic clop of hooves and the soft sound of wheels

bring families and friends to a grand wedding celebration

a time when two hearts and two lives in love will seal.

As if God himself decorated in honor of the event

The roof of the home is trimmed with glittering icicles

and they know a warmth and love from above has been sent.
