Muffled safely under snow,
And the winding meadow streams
Murmur in their wintry dreams,
While a tinkling music wells
Faintly from their icy bells,
Telling how their hearts are bold
Though the very sun be cold…”
- From Winter Streams by Bliss William Carman (1861-1929)

Canadian poet - who apparently was well versed in colder weather!)
