SNOW BOUND: 
A WINTER IDYL, 
.f OH\ G. ^VHITTIER. 
Author of " Maud Mullek," &c., &c. 
In one beautifully printed Volume, wltli a line portrait of 
the author, and an illustration of his birthplace, the 
scene of the poem. Price, $1.25. 
Nothing that has ever appeared from our favorite New 
England poet will have a closer home interest than this ad- 
mirable production. It tells the story of his own boy-life 
on a farm, amid tlie hardships and pleasures of that stormy 
season of the year, so full of vicissitude and danger to the 
dwellers on our rocky coast. Thousands of readers will 
thank anew the poet who can make them feel 
"The winter joys their boyhood knew." 
With Wldttier's own beautiful lines at the close of the poem, 
all those who peruse Snow-Bound cannot fail to sympathize. 
"Aud dear and early fi'iends — the few 
Who yet remain — shall pause to view 
These Flemish pictures of old days ; 
Sit with me by the homestead hearth, 
And stretch the hands of memory forth 
To warm them at the wood-fire's blaze ! 
And thanks untraced to lips unknown 
Sliall greet me like the odors blown 
From unseen meadows newly mown. 
Or lilies floating in some pond. 
Wood-fringed, the wayside gaze beyond; 
The traveller owns the grateful sense 
Of sweetness near, be knows not whence, 
And. pausing, takes with forehead bare 
Tlie benediction of the air."
