THREE'S A CROWD', by                    
First Line: Crisp and hard lay the snow beneath
Last Line: When the person who crowds you is cupid
Subject(s): Cupid; Eros


CRISP and hard lay the snow beneath,
The frosty air made young blood tingle,
As we glided over the polished road
To the sleigh-bells' merriest jingle.

We were warmly wrapped to our chins in rugs,
Fur-proof against winter's biting weather,
There was room in the sleigh for only two,
But -- three of us sleighed together.

The moon from the clear, cold sky above
Flooded the snow with a golden glory,
And I whispered -- for how could I refrain? --
The old, old, world-famous story.

Must have seemed quite a crowd, you say,
With three in the sleigh? Well you are stupid!
Three's a pleasanter company far, than two,
When the person who crowds you in Cupid!
