SLOW, slow the snow 10 falling,
The crispcd earth upon;
Clothing in funeral garb
The bald, pale trees around,
The leadcn clouds are hanging
In the arch Of heavens blue,
Like mourners sadly bending
Ger dying friends and t. ue.
The sleigh now are ringing
The merry jest goes round:
The horses hoofs are clattering.
Above the frozen ground;
The boggar in filth and rags.
Knocks feebly at your door.
This day in early winter
SO dreadful to the poor
Wilt bid him seek still further
For what his children need
Or wilt thou by unkindness
Make his heart a weary blood
Remember, these words were spoken
BY Cain, who titled the sod;

Accused was Of God.
