Rondel by Philip Dacey

A beautiful snow falls on a bed,
Amazing the man and woman there.
It falls between and over them where
Just before they lay close and naked.

They wonder if anything they said
Or did called down so cold through the air
This beautiful snow onto their bed
To amaze any who would love there;

They wonder if snowmen can be wed,
And if white is what they'll always wear,
And if lovers should sing or shiver
As they watch fall the uninvited
And beautiful snow onto their bed.
