The dragon's lair

A personal collection of verse

A Patch of Old Snow

Robert Frost


There's a patch of old snow in a corner
That I should have guessed
Was a blow-away paper the rain
Had brought to rest.

It is speckled with grime as if
Small print overspread it,
The news of a day I've forgotten—
If I ever read it.

It is speckled with grime as if
Small print overspread it,
The news of a day I've forgotten—
If I ever read it.
