SNOW

Like fairy mist. without a sound
The white secluSion wraps US round
In Isolation sweet. profound.
The old, familiar landmarks pass
As faces from looking glass
As dew the sun lifts OFF the grass;
And childhood memories awake
a dream for every starry fake
And hopes no stress of frost may break
The world fades out; how trivial show
Its empty joys, its hollow woe,
Beside this vision of the snow!
