ON A LETTER: 2 by MATHILDE BLIND

First Line: SOFT LIES THE SILENT FALL OF SNOW
Last Line: UPON MY SPIRIT LIE.
Subject(s): LETTERS;
Soft lies the silent fall of snow
Upon the hemlock tree;
Soft lies the moonlight's silver flow
Upon the troubled sea.

Sweet on the blossom of the vines
The night-dews drop from high;
But softer, sweeter far, thy lines
Upon my spirit lie.
