The Green Man
I saw the Green Man standing
in the fallen snow, still landing
amid the naked trees and saplings
and the young couple courting,
and as I stood there watching,
he raised his hands in blessing
and the young man now kneeling,
betrothed the young woman, smiling,
and the snow turned to melting
as the sunlight brought the warming
and the Green Man went springing
all through the woods a-dancing.
