The Frost King rears his throne in
the land, and nature is chained by a
wave of his hand-the laughing song
OF the brook is stilled, and the tender
heart of the flower is chilled. Hespeeds
his arrow on bitter gales, and the dead
grass shivers in the Wales. His voice
is heard, when the night is still, to ring
DER the pond that turns the mill, and
the moonbeams fall on the silvery sheen
that marks the lake where his steps
have been, where the skaters steel on
the FURNISHED ice works flowers of fair
and rare device. The Frost kings
power is very wide, it binds the land
and ties the tide; it fetters the street
with flinty chain, and checks the drops
of roof-shed rain, that, bound to the
ewes, now sparkle there, gems of first
water, everywhere. He breathes on
the panes as he passes by, and forms
of beauty salute the eye. An artist is
