One wintry day a Woodman was tramping home from his work when he saw something black lying on the snow. The trees and shrubs, however, were now leafless, and their twigs were enveloped in the light snow, which thus made a kind of wintry foliage, with here and there a pendent icicle for the fruit. The weather was already growing wintry and morning frosts congealed an earth saturated by autumn rains. |
