WINTER FANTASY, by ADELE BABBITT
First Line: Miss hoar frost is a dainty maid
Last Line: And ends the revel of the night.
First Line: Miss hoar frost is a dainty maid
Last Line: And ends the revel of the night.
Miss Hoar Frost is a dainty maid,
Adorned for nature's masquerade.
Her swirling gown of white,
Festooned with jewels to catch the light,
She fashions in the deep of night.
The gems of fiery dye,
That on her snowy bosom lie,
She borrows from the starry sky.
Her cloak of filmy lace,
By icy crystal held in place,
She drapes with artistry and grace.
In all her bright array,
And fearful of the coming day
She swings into a mad ballet.
Her feet so airy free,
Leave footprints on each bush and tree
That wrap the world in fantasy.
The Sun appears with gleeful spite
And ends the revel of the night.
