edwin L. Sabin, in the Century,
Oh FOR the winters that used to be!
The winters that only a boy may see!
Rich with the snowflakes' rush and swirl;
Keen as diamond; pure as pearl;
Brinaming with healthful, rollicking fun;
Sweet with their rest when the play was
done;
With kingly revels each day decreed,
And a clipper sled for the royal steed.
4 wonderful steed was this. in truth,
Fit for the galloping pulse Of youth;
Little and pointed. squat and low
But, bless my heart, how that SEQ could
go.
Winning its owner loud acclaim,
Genlming his deeds with joy and fanci
Never an arrow swifter sped
Than on to its goal the clipper sled.
The Jenlzinson hill stretched smooth and
free
In those glorious winters that used to
be-,
a speedway polished and steep and white,
Rife with turbulent, rapt delight;
Ringing with laughter, jest and shout;
Gay with frolliclzing romp and rout
Where many a courser bold was led
But heetest OF all was the clipper sled.
Down from the crest, with a shrill Murray
CLEAR the track, there! Out of the
wayD;
Scarcely touching the path beneath;
Scarcely admitting Of breath to breathe
Dashlng along with sweep and swerve,
Over the crossing; round the curve
Talk of your flying machines, Instead
Give me the sweep OF the clipper sled
