First Line: The down of angels wafted slowly to the earth
Last Line: Obscured as the floss in a blanket heaven-made.
Subject(s): Angels; Snow; White (color); Winter
The down of angels wafted slowly to the earth,
A feathery magnificence of cream and crystal merging.
Crispy with freshness and effervescing with mirth
Into a glittering shimmer, delightfully purging.
So chaste, so white, so pensive it did seem
As on the crest of a wind wave it was weighed,
Then sent to an unknown spot to gleam
Obscured as the floss in a blanket heaven-made.
