The Green Man

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.
