African American Poetry: A Digital Anthology

William H.A. Moore “Here in the Time of the Winter Morn” (1912)


Here in the time of the Winter morn,
    Love.
I see the Sunlit leaves of changing hue
Burn clear against a sky of tender blue,
Here in the time of Winter morn,
    Love.
I hear the low tone bells of changing song
Ring clear upon the air the full day long,
Here in the time of Winter morn,
    Love.
I hear the bells, I see the changing leaves,
And one lone heart for Summer silent grieves,
Here in the time of Winter morn,
    Love.
