<center><em><h4><b>Winter-Time</b></h4><p>Late lies the wintry sun a-bed,<br />A frosty, fiery sleepy-head;<br />Blinks but an hour or two; and then,<br />A blood-red orange, sets again.<br /><br />Before the stars have left the skies,<br />At morning in the dark I rise;<br />And shivering in my nakedness,<br />By the cold candle, bathe and dress,<br /><br />Close by the jolly fire I sit<br />To warm my frozen bones a bit;<br />Or with a reindeer-sled, explore<br />The colder countries round the door.<br /><br />When to go out, my nurse doth wrap<br />Me in my comforter and cap;<br />The cold wind burns my face, and blows<br />Its frosty pepper up my nose.<br /><br />Black are my steps on silver sod;<br />Thick blows my frosty breath abroad;<br />And tree and house, and hill and lake,<br />Are frosted like a wedding-cake.<br /><br /></p></em><p><sup>by Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894)</sup></p></center>
