A frosty but cosy poem
By Robert Louis Stevenson

Winter Time
Late lies the wintry sun a-bed,
A frosty, fiery sleepy-head;
Blinks but an hour or two; and then,
A blood-red orange, sets again.
Before the stars have left the skies,
At morning in the dark I rise;
And shivering in my nakedness,
By the cold candle, bathe and dress.
Close by the jolly fire I sit
To warm my frozen bones a bit;
Or with a reindeer-sled, explore
The colder countries round the door.
When to go out, my nurse doth wrap
Me in my comforter and cap;
The cold wind burns my face, and blows
Its frosty pepper up my nose.
Black are my steps on silver sod;
Thick blows my frosty breath abroad;
And tree and house, and hill and lake,
Are frosted like a wedding-cake.
And that was Winter Time by Robert Louis Stevenson. Read by me, Jana at Storynory.com

Hi, Storynory, My name is Simrah!
I loved all the past stories written by Bertie and Hugh fraser.
I was born 5 years after storynory started and when I was 9 I discovered storynory.
I first thought we should read the stories not Until I listened to the song Snap me by Gladys.
It was beatiful.
I felt quite sad when The series of waking beauty ended. Can you write at least 1 last story on Princess Talia, Sir Basil and Madam Sally.
Anyway, I like these stories too. But I know this is a poem.
I want to congratulate you for keeping Up This 16 year old Website and Wishing you a very Happy new year!!!
