The snow upon the hillside lay,
And matched the cottage roof.
The web of vines by the Pilgrims door
Was filled with icy wool.
The boughs were leafiess on the trees.
Across the barren plain
The north wind swept despairingly
And moaned like one In pain.
Ut whimpered like some hungry child
clasps Its parents and
And pleads for bread when there Is none
In all the dreary land.)
Above the little Plymouth town.
Circling with empty NAV,
Mocking their hunger, flew the crow,
Shrieking his "haw. haw. haw."

And raised her voice to Him.

Then all day long her watchfuI eyes
Gazed down the village street,
Not aoubting but she soon would see
Some one with .fings to eat"
And, 10! before the sun had Ser,
With wild owl laden down.
Four hunters from the forest drear
Came marching into town.
lnd (as In answer TO the prayer),
To add to all the cheer,
And Danish famine from the place,
Came Indians with deer.
The joyous villagers rushed out
The ladened ones to meet,
But Patience knelt and said: "Fanks, bod,
For sendin' ings to eat"
