Winter Trees, William Carlos Williams (American, New Jersey)
Winter TreesBY WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMSAll the complicated details
of the attiring and
the disattiring are completed!
A liquid moon
moves gently among
the long branches.
Thus having prepared their buds
against a sure winter
the wise trees
stand sleeping in the cold.
