THE SNOW.

Softly, softly the snow flakes fall,
over the earth like Il fieecy pail
| On its breast so brown and bare.
Placing mantle so pure and fair,
| That e cannot see how Il thing so bright
| Splcad over darkness can still be white
Gently. gently the snow comes down,
Darker the air and whittier the ground
| hitter the earth, and brighter the sky,
For angels have opened their windows on
high. -
| To make the path of the snow more bright
/ AS it drifts from heaven o eartlI,to-nipht.
| press my face to the window pane,
Dream and muse, and look again;
The snow Is falling, falling still,
Overthe vale and over the hill;
Over the graves of the silent dead,
The fleecy mantle is softly spread,
But the dreamless sleepers do not know
or their shroud of beautiful, beautiful
snow.
Silently drifting into the street,
Oh !. wish the print of human feet
Would never make an impress there
But leave it forever unsoilcd and fair.
Even now l see the wish is vain,
For, looking again through the window
pane,
Behold i! woman toiling slow,
Trailing her garments over the snow;
The blue lips ope with 4 mournful cry
Which up through the white flakes reach
es the sky.
" UOu let ne 1lll on the earth s cold
breast
And under the snow find peace and rest.
Up and down through the drcary street
| followed the prints of the weary feet
All whom she asked to take her in
Said, Begone. Oh, woman of sin.
How can you who fell so low
Dare to walk OH Gods pure snow?
She answered them with Il mournful cry,
Il only y ask 4 place to die
Rudcly on her was closed each door,
AND forth she wandered into the SHOW.
Into the graveyard cold and drear,
She went, and said, ''I'll rest Inc here"
Upon grave, with Il tombstone white
Under her head, she lay that night.
Colder and colder grew the form,
The sIow-fakes could not keep her warm;
Softly they kissed her forehead fair,
Nestled like gems i'll her glossy hair
W hitter and whittier the pale cheeks grow,
White and pure as the beautiful snow.
At Heavens gate the woman of sin
Knocked, and the angels took her i'll.
Morning came so glad and bright,
And earth which had before the night
Been so very dark and bare,
Had carpet now. so pure and fair
That angels might trail their piniOns DER,
And make them winter than before.
There were no traces OF sin-sOilcd feet,
For those who wandered out in the street,
Had entered others all paved with gold,
Where never they IL feel the snow and the
cold.
Yes, many Il heart was cascCt of pain.
And will never. Oh never ache again;
Under the 1lakes so fair and bright
Many form lay cold and white
The sun rose up, and his roscate glow
Kissed the dead and the beautiful snow.
