For snowy clouds have clad the earth

To brave the darkness Of the night,
And danger of the storm.
The fire it burneth pleasantly
Upon our tidy hearth
We may be happy here to night.
And join in songs of mirtb.
"Think of the many Joyous hours
We have together spent,
When to my grief, your gentle voice,
A charm of music lent.
Think Of the holy book we read,
Ere We in praying did bow,
And here it is-the same good book
Come, read il to me now.

And our enjoyment sweet"
He heeds not to the fon appeal,
But thrusts his wife aside

And journeyed DER the plain;
But never to his wife and child
