The shortest day is upon us, so I'd like to share one of my favorite winter poems. Enjoy!

 

And so the Shortest Day came and the year died

And everywhere down the centuries of the snow-white world

They hung their homes with evergreen;

They burned beseeching fires all night long

To keep the year alive.
