THE FROST SPIRIT.

ne comes, hc'comes--,ho Frost Spirit comes.-you
may trace his footsteps now.
On the naked woods, and the blasted fields, and the
brown hills wthered brow,
He has smitten tho leaves of the gray old trees,
where their pleasant green came forth,
And the winds which follow wherever he goes,
have shaken them down to earth.
Rs Gomez he comes--,he Frost Spirit -
from the frozen Labrador,
From the Icy bridge of the northern seas, which
the white bear wanders Ger;
Where the fishermans sail is stiff with ice, and the
luckess forms below,
In the sunless cold Of the atmosphere, into marble
statues grow
h cornos, he comes--the Frost Spirit comes!-on
the rushing northern blast,
And the dark Norwegian pines have bowed as his
fearful breath went past;
With unscorcling wing he has hurried on where
the fires of Heca glow
On the darkly beautiful sky above and tho ancient
ice below
the quiet lake shalt feal
The forbid touch Of his glazing BREATH and ring to
the skaters heel;
And the streams which danced on the broken rocks,
or sang to the leaning grass,
Shall bow again to their winter chain. and in
mournful silence pass
He comes, he comes--the Frost Spirit comes !let
meet him as we may,
And turn with the light Of the parlor fire, his evil
power away;
And gather closer the circle round whom that fire.

And laugh at the shrek OF the baf1ed fond, his

For she knew not where to 60,

Had brought with it rain and snow 4;
