SNOW-FLAKES, by MARY ELIZABETH MAPES DODGE Poet's Biography First Line: Whenever a snow-flake leaves the sky Last Line: "t is summer!"" -- and it melts away." Subject(s): Nature; Snow; Summer | |||
WHENEVER a snow-flake leaves the sky, It turns and turns to say "Good-bye! Good-bye, dear clouds, so cool and gray!" Then lightly travels on its way. And when a snow-flake finds a tree, "Good-day!" it says -- "Good-day to thee! Thou art so bare, and lonely, dear, I'll rest and call my comrades here." But when a snow-flake, brave and meek, Lights on a rosy maiden's cheek, It starts -- "How warm and soft the day! 'T is summer!" -- and it melts away. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE ADVANCE OF SUMMER by MARY KINZIE THE SUMMER IMAGE by LEONIE ADAMS CANOEBIAL BLISS by JOSEPH ASHBY-STERRY THE END OF SUMMER by HENRY MEADE BLAND THE FARMER'S BOY: SUMMER by ROBERT BLOOMFIELD SONNET: 14.
