AN UNWELCOME VISITOR.
Snow, snow, beautiful snow. You look very nice when you come ; but, oh ! You are very much nicer when you go ! (Jo, go, beautiful snow, And don't come again for a year - or so. I picture you now on some Arctic floe, Along with Frost, Hail, Sleet, and Co., And while you’re there I am ready to show Respect by calling you ‘ beautiful snow ?’ But do I wish you nearer? No ! Absence makes hearts fonder grow, So don’t come again for a year or so— If I want you sooner I’ll let you know.
D. W. Shaw.
