S2 E11: Here in the Time of the Winter Morn

Welcome to Poetry in the Evening

The sunshine and rain of spring has brought colour and energy to the earth. The joy of awakening is here even as the soft and fresh green of beginnings is transitioning into a deeper shade of maturity. It is a reminder that the warmth of summer is near. Tonight, I am bidding a fond farewell to winter, for a time, with the poem, ”Here in the Time of the Winter Morn” by William Moore.

Here in the Time of the Winter Morn

By William Moore

Here in the time of the Winter morn, Love,
I see the Sunlit leaves of changing hue
Burn clear against a sky of tender blue,
Here in the time of the Winter morn, Love.
Here in the time of the Winter morn, Love,
I hear the low tone bells of changing song
Ring clear upon the air the full day long,
Here in the time of the Winter morn, Love.
I hear the bells, I see the changing leaves,
And one lone heart for Summer silent grieves,
Here in the time of the Winter morn, Love.

Correction: The correct name of William Moore’s poem is “Here in the Time of the Winter Morn.” I recited it as “Here in the Time of Winter Morn” in my video.

    1. I am delighted that you enjoyed this poem. I have been exploring public domain poetry and how the past has informed the poetry of today. I have so much to learn, Liz!!! That is what makes it all so exciting. I will never ever run out of things to learn!!!

      1. I know just what you mean! Have you seen the Public Domain Review? I subscribe to their newsletter for the latest in the odd and obscure–although it should come with a rabbithole warning.
