THE ELVES OF WINTER, by                    
First Line: In each ferny, frost-flower tree
Last Line: Toss back sparkles elf-men chase!
Subject(s): Fairies; Winter; Elves


In each ferny, frost-flower tree
See the elf-men romp in glee!
All about the house-top tall,
Dancing, flashing, they play ball.

Catching twinkles, tossing gleams
To the roguish sun's gay beams.
Stones and fences all are toys
Elves have made for girls and boys.

Shining at the icy panes
All along the snowy lanes,
Joyous eyes in each glad face
Toss back sparkles elf-men chase!
