And cold -

In raiment of virgin white
They have draped her in drifting cloudy

That fall In mist Of gossamer whirls
And wrap her in garments bright.
Her robe IL bordered with filmier lace
Than the finest OF cobweb mesh,
With 'broidered patterns OF jewels that
From her wales and cheeks to her noun
tain peaks
Where the trumpeter wind blows fresh.
But her voice is timtd and tiny and weak
AS the tinklfng OF ice-bound streams
And she shrinks in spite Of her brave
array:
Like a frightened ,fawn she stands at
bay
From the bridesroom's chilly kiss on
her cheek.
For she knows that under the diamond
dust
OF snow on her warm young breast
Her heart keeps tune to the rune OF June
Where ne rides. youth. in flowers
Over the hills in the far, far west.
With the light in his eyes of summer
And the feet of life in his shoon.
