THE SNOW.
O'er the mountain vale and sea. O'er the hill-tops and the lea, O'er all the earth belowFloating down on airy pinions From some fairy's dominions, Softly falls the feathery snow. Gently, gently coming down, Forming Winter's frostly crown O'er the quiet vales below ; With a mantle soft and light, Robing fields in virgin white, Fall the pearly flakes of snow. Where the violets sweet are springing, 1 And the shady groves were ringing. With the brooklets merry flow ; Where the zephyrs mild of bummer Through the leaflets softly murmur, Falleth now the pearly snow. Where the Angel watch is keeping O'er the loved ones sweetly sleeping In the silent graves so low ; Gently as the Summer showers Are distill'd o'er fragrant flowers, Falls the pure the downy snow, N.
