As white disguises greenery
with frozenness, below,
a silent change of scenery
blows in with the snow.
"[B]elow" is just a bit forced and jarring - to what does it refer? And though I can't think of a good construction that would preserve the metric scheme in the last line, it might be out there - "infiltrates," for example, in place of "blows in," would fit but is obviously inferior. As is, the missing first beat works well enough - a caught breath for the wind, as it were.
Quite nice.
