And the dogs, with, a bark and a bound,

Snap atihe eryvuls that eddy around

The town is alive, and its heart in a glow,

To welcome the coming of beautiful snow I

How wild the crowd goe swaying along,

Hailing each other with humor and song I

How gay the sledges, like meteors flash by,

Bright for a moment, then lost to the eye !

Kinging,

Swinging,

Dancing they ge,

To be tramded and tracked and br

thousanda of feet.

Till it blend with the fith in the horrible

street.
