Then welcome, cold, welcome, ye snowy nights!
Heaven midst your rage shall mingle pure delights.
And confidence of hope the soul sustain,
While devastation sweeps along the plain:

But bless the Power that rules the changing year;
Assured, though horrors 'round his cottage reign,
That Spring will come, and Nature smile again.
–Robert Bloomfield (1766–1823)
