SNOW STORM, by                    
First Line: All still and softly through the night
Last Line: Realization of my dream.
Subject(s): Snow; Winter


ALL still and softly through the night
The snow fell hushed and pure and white,
Each branch and twig is laden high,
Outlined against a leaden sky.
The flakes yet falling soft and still,
Clear cut against the snowy hill.
The quiet air is washed all clean,
Its tonic freshness crystal, keen.
Such joy in this white world there lies,
A beauty felt beyond these skies,
Beyond the snow-banks' glad surprise,
To where I see with other eyes
A beauty strange to mortal ken,
The gleam surmised scarce known to men.
Lo, now behold, the sun breaks through,
A glimpse of sky, a heavenly blue,
The white and blue, the stillness seem
Realization of my dream.
