"A MOTH In W1nWeEs
The frosty wreaths of winter morn
Hung on the leafless forest trees,
And icy branches lightly shook
In the chill, northern breeze;
When glad, returning sunlight tipped
Each rocky peak and finty spire,
And tree-tops In the old grey woods
Cleaned with the purple fire.
Rich coronals Of frosty spray
Glittered with many a twinkling gem,
And stars Of glory danced upon
The winters diadem. :"

Waving to heavens kindliest breeze,
Where Adanl eaw such starry fruit
