SNOW IN THE AIR, by                    
First Line: I have walked in florida
Last Line: When snow is in the air.
Subject(s): Snow


I have walked in Florida
Under bending palms,
Under sweet magnolia
Scattering white alms.

But I'd rather tramp in northern woods
With beeches stripped and bare,
And pick brown cones with olive hoods,
When snow is in the air.

I have strolled on southern strands
Under sapphire skies,
Where colors throb to crooning bands,
And love swoons in black eyes.

But I'd rather pace a northern lake
That cruel tempests tear
With ghostly howling in my wake,
When snow is in the air.
