FALL OF SNOW.

Oh, the snow, the beautiful snow,

Killing the sky -and the earth below,

Over the housetops, over the street,

Over tiui l.f*irfa nf the TWOING YOU

JllCct1, Daucinff, flitting skimnnns

along, l'.eauti«ul snow, that can do

nothing wrong;' Ki.vinp to kiss a fair

lady's . cheek Cllntrinir to lips in

frolicsome freak; Keautiful snow, from

the heaven above , Tua- as an angel,

gentle as love. Oh! the snow, (he

bcantifiil snow, How the flakes gather

and laugh as they go, Whirling about in

their maddening fun. h plays, in its

glee, with every oneChasing, laughing,

hurrying by. It lights on the face and

sparkles the eye', And the dogs with a

bark and a bound, Snap at the crystals

that eddy around. The town is olive, and

its heart in a glow, To welcome the

coming of beautiful snow. These verses,
