The pines are black on Sierras slope,
And white are the drifted SHOWS;
The flowers are gone, the huckthorn bare,
And chilly the north wind blows,
The plneboughs crcak

A language the north wind knows.
There never track leads in or out

The SQUIRRELS have hld in their deepesl

And the blown SHOWS drift
