"It's nice to see it snow," she said.
Yet all those weeks in bed
She vowed she hated winter so,
She vowed she hated cold and snow.
But now she wished that she might lie,
Her face turned to a leaden sky,
A snowy blanket o'er her spread,
A snowflake garland round her head.
"For snow," she said, "is soft and cool,
Is comforter to sage and fool,
And underneath it there must be
Unparalleled security."
