The American poet Sara Teasdale wrote February Twilight. It is a short poem with two stanzas of four verses each. The poem is full of imagery.
February Twilight
I stood beside a hill
Smooth with new-laid snow.
A single star looked out
From the cold evening glow.
There was no other creature
That saw what I could see--
I stood and watched the evening star
As long as it watched me.
In the poem the second and fourth verses of each stanza rhyme with one another. It is a very quiet evening and only one star is visible. The star and the narrator are both alone and they spend time watching one another. The poem February Twilight expresses the beauty of nature, solitude and winter.
