Howard Freedman was just 12 when he won this gold badge. The Heart of the YearBy Howard Freedman (Age 12)(Gold Badge. Silver Badge won August, 1926) When Winter’s host from coast to coastIs spread as an ermine robe,And autumn has lost to the crackling frostAll over the temperate globe; When the flowers sleep on the hillsides steep,And a solemn hush pervades;When the glistening snow, assaying woe,Covers all woodland glades; When from the north, blustering forth,The wind is here to stay;When winter’s might rules on, despiteAll efforts to stop his way; When all rejoice in a single voice,And revel in Christmas cheer;When the snapping cold reigns as of old;—That is “The HEART of the YEAR.” About Post Author Kitty admin@silentphotoplay.com Happy 0 0 % Sad 0 0 % Excited 0 0 % Sleepy 0 0 % Angry 0 0 % Surprise 0 0 % 0 0 votes Article Rating Loading Likes...
