THE FIRST FALL OF SNOW.
ny JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL.

The snow had begun in the cleaning,
And busily all the night,
Had been heaping field and highway
With a silence deep and white.
Every pine and fir and hemlock,
Wore ermiEe too dear for an Earl;
And the poorest twig on the elm tree
Was rugged inch deep with pearl
From sheds new rooted with Carrara,
Came Chandeliers muifled crow;
The stiff rails were stfiened to swans down.
And still auttered down the snow.
| thought Of a mount in sweet Auburn,
Where a little headstone stood;
How the fakes were folding it gently,
As did robins the babes in the wood.
Up spoke our little Mahet,
Saying Father, who makes the snow :"
And told him of the good All-Falher,
Who cares for US below.
Again looked at the snow fall
And thought of the laden sky,
That arched Ger our first great sorrow,
When that mound was heaped SO high.
Iremember the gradual patience
That fell from that cloud like snow;
Flake by flake healing and hiding
The scar Of the deep-stabbed woe.
And again to the child | whispered,
The snow that viSieth all;
Darling, the merciful Father
Alone can make it falls"
Then with eyes that saw not kissed her,
Aud she kissing back, could not know
That my kiss was given to her sister.
Folding close under the deepening snow.
