SNOW.
O for the snow— the feathery snow l "When the trees stand shivering and bare, When the cold .winds blow .nd the streams
run slow It danceth like bees in the air. O for the snow— the feathery snow 1 How the wing'd flakes sport in the g-ile! Now here, now there, they hover m air, Or light on the storm-blast sail. O for the snow— the feathery snow' When the logs blaze ought on the hearth. When the rich wine flows, and the warm blcoj
plow, And the cricket chirps loud m his mirtli
O for the «now — the feathery snow 1 Tlie silent, the soft, and the pure l Like a fair white cloud or a joung girl's shroud It lies on the lone, bleak moor.
O for the snow — the feathery snow ' And the winter wind bracing the mind. As o'er the fixed tide like an arrow we glide, Though the white glare near make* tin blind
O for the snow — the feathery snow ' That Love's hand scattcieth wide la the woods, on the hills, on th.? ice-bound rills, Till the dull earth's clad uke o hnde -II J. B.
