the snow, the beautiful snow,

ling the sky and earth below ;

ar the housa tops, over'tbe street,

r the heads of th&people you meet,

Dancing,

Skipping along.

!au till] I snow! it can do nothinz wrong,

lying to kiss a fair lady's cheek,

inging to lips in a frolicsome freak ;

lautiful snow from the heavenobove,

re as an angel, gentle as lotra:

! the snow, the beautiful snow,

w the flakes gather and laugh . as they

go:

irling abont in ite.Tditening fan,

playa in ita glee with - every oni,

Uhasim,

Laughing,

lights up the face and it sparkles the

eye ;

d even the dogs with a bark and a

bound,

ap at the crystals that eddy around ;

i'he town is alive, and its heart in a glow

To welcome the coming of qinautiful

snow ? -

How the wild crowd goes swaying along,

Hailing each other with humorand song ; .

How the gay sledges like meteors flash

Bright for the'moment, then lost to the

eye.

Pinging,

Swinging,

Dashing they go,

Over the crest of the beautiful snow ;

Snow so pure when it falls from the shy,

To be trampled in the mud by the crowd

rushing by,

To be trampled and tracked by the

thousands of feet,

Till it blends with the filth in the hor­

rible street.
