Words for a changing season

Found on The Writer’s Almanac, today:

The snow begins; the pretense of life ends.
The earth is white now; the fields shine when the moon rises.

I sit at the bedroom window, watching the snow fall.
The earth is like a mirror:
calm meeting calm, detachment meeting detachment.

What lives, lives underground.
What dies, dies without struggle.

— excerpt from “Harvest” by Louise Glück from A Village Life.
