leheeteVu NhsI A-oPVttei,
swiftly down the snow Is drifting,
From the Geld and sunless sky,
Ger the earth a carpet Spreading
Where the hetcy atoms lie.I
CarDetsi No, 'twere far more fitting
Though It's trnmpled 'neath cur feet,
ThlRg 90 dismal, cold and Ehostly
Bear the name Of winding sheet.
AsI faced he blast this morning,
Snowiages falling thick and fast,
Happy children, biirht and smiling.
Voiced their pleasure as they pasiedi
Happy children, full Of gladness.
Full Of joy the snow 70 see;
0uileless, free from care and sadness
As should childhood ever be.
When / met them memory told me,
As looked on each bright brow.
Once was / as gay and Joyous
As are thpss.sWeet children now;
OnceHs glad. in dreary winter
As are they q. see the STOW,
Just as sDortiye and as happy
Ali but that.Was long ago.
Then my locks, like ravens D 'umage,
Typihed more night than day,
Now the snow that raps them gently
Hardly whittier is than they
Auoh my step was ltnt ana buoyAnt.
And my eyes with brightness shoue,
Now that step Is slow and hating
And from eyes that listers gone.
Many winters have passed DER me,
Ices, winds and snow and all,
And I've wept Ger many a loved one
have seen around rue fall.
Ali Ihave seen them, like the sn0wAakes
Which now spread the pavement Ger,
Even as they tossed and struggled,
Fall, alasl TO rise no more.
Happy children, who out yonder
Met me but while ago,
Let them In their own bright spring time
Greet with glee the winters snow.
Not fake around them falling,
On the sunless Sabbath day,
Though ii from the heavens drifted
freer is from stain than they.
May they, when the threds Of silver
Streak their tres Sos, bye and bye.
Or when snow their brows arc crowning
And they older are than /,
Be then, as they now are, able.
Sinless hearts and lives to show.
Conscienoes as free from blemish
And as stainless as the snow.
