in the bleak midwinter soul painting
Decided to have a go at combining one of my paintings with some digital elements. I read a Poem a Day and todays poem was In the Bleak Midwinter by Christina Rossetti...here are some verses from it..its such a beautiful poem especially for the winter....
In the bleak midwinter
Frosty wind made moan
Earth stood hard as iron,
Water like stone;
Snow had fallen, snow on snow,
Snow on snow,
In the bleak midwinter
Long ago.
Angels and archangels
May have gathered there,
Cherubim and seraphim
Thronged the air;
But His mother only,
In her maiden bliss,
Worshipped the Beloved
With a kiss.
