All this rain has made a big difference at Niagara ~ both falls are at a very high stage.

A White Blossom

by D. H. Lawrence

A tiny moon as white and small as a single jasmine flower

Leans all alone above my window, on night’s wintry bower,

Liquid as lime-tree blossom, soft as brilliant water or rain

She shines, the one white love of my youth, which all sin cannot stain.
