Enchantment

​Enchantment
 
This is the way white
     enchantment is made:
Snowflake on snowflake,
     fluttering, laid.
 
Bushes and tree branches
     sparkling with white -
Stars from the skies, -
     scintillant, light.
 
This is the place where
     enchantment is made
Close by a stream,
     where birches wove shade.
 
All through the summer,
     for violets, sweet
As a soft kiss; now
     snow-kissed, their feet.
 
This is the song white
     enchantment is singing
With sleigh bells and snowflakes,
     rhythmically ringing.
