When tie snow on the sun dial falls

TO river and song bird dumb:
When the sheep draw close In the fold
Aud the biting ristrals blow,
Then the heart as a rosary told,
Finds its love OF the long ago.

While the sun-dial stands In the snow:
But the mind holds its hardy flower t5s
Where the ntbor-yitaes grow.
The waves no more return. II

Sill afresh does the hearth brand burn
