The Beautiful Snow.

Oh! the snow, the beautiful snow,
Filling the sky and the earth below;
Over the housetops, over the street,
Over the heads of the people you meet,
Dancing,
Flirting,
Swimming along;
Beautiful snow. it can do nothing wrong;
Flying to kiss fair lady's cheek,
Clinging to lips in frolicsome freak,
Beautiful snow from the heaven above,
Pure as an angel, gentle as love!
Oh! the snow, the beautiful snow,
How the flakes gather and laugh as they go
Whirling about in their maddening fun;
1t plays in its glee with every one,
Chasing,
Laughing,
Hurrying by;
1t lights on the face and it sparkles the eye,
And the dogs with bark and a bound,
Snap at the crystals that eddy around
The town is alive and its heart in glow,
To welcome the coming of beautiful snow!,
How wildly the crowd goes swaying along,
Hailing each other with humor and song!
How the gay sledges like meteors fash by,
Bright for the moment, then lost to the eye
Ringing,
Swinging,
Dancing they go,
Over the crust of the beautiful snow;
Snow so pure when it falls from the sky,
To be trampled in mud by the crowd rushing by
To be trampled and tracked by thousands Of
feet,
Till it blends with the filth in tho horrible
street.
Once l was pure Us the snow-but 1 fell
Fell like the snow flakes from Heaven to hell;
Fell to he trampled as filth in the street;
Fell to be scoffed, to be spit on and beat.
Pleading,
Cursing,
Dreading to die,
Selling my SOUL to whoever would buy,
Dealing in shame for morsel of bread,
AA"'hiS WIZ living aiil icoiiIS tlie uedu,
Merciful God! have fallen SO low?
And yet was once like the beautiful snow.
Once was fair as the beautiful snow,
With an eye like its crystal, heart like its glow
Flattered and sought for the charms of my face
Father,
Mother,
Sister, all,
God and myself, I've lost by my fall;
The veriest wretch that goes shivering by,
Will make wide swoop lest wander too nigh
For all that is on or above me, l know,
There is nothing that's pure as the beautiful
snow. -'..--.. -
How strange it should be that the beautiful
snow
Should fall ON sinner with nowhere to 60!
How strange it should be, when the light comes
again,
If the snow and the ice strike my desperate
brain,
