“A Winter Eden” by Robert Frost

A winter Eden in an alder swamp
Where conies now come out to sun and romp,
As near a paradise as it can be
And not melt snow or start a dormant tree.

It lifts existence on a plane of snow
One level higher than the earth below,
One level nearer heaven overhead
And last year’s berries shining scarlet red.

It lifts a gaunt luxuriating beast
Where he can stretch and hold his highest feast
On some wild apple tree’s young tender bark,<
What well may prove the years’ high girdle mark.

Pairing in all known paradises ends:
Here loveless birds now flock as winter friends,
Content with bud inspecting. They presume
To say which buds are leaf and which are bloom.

A feather hammer gives a double knock.
This Eden day is done at two o’clock.
An hour of winter day might seem too short
To make it worth life’s while to wake and sport.

St. James’ Episcopal Church is thrilled to invite you back to the cherished community-wide festival, Norman’s Attic Fall Fest. As in the past, the Norman’s Attic Fall Fest will line Church St. in front of St. James’, as well as Rt. 7A (Main St.) by the Town Offices and the Community House.

Food (including delicious homemade baked goods), entertainment, and coming together as a community are all a part of the Norman’s Attic Fall Fest experience, and it’s one that brings people back year after year! A wide range of 60+ vendors feature antiques, collectibles, clothing, hand-crafted jewelry, artwork, vinyl records, maple syrup, and much more for sale.
