MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YORKER: AN AGRICULTURAL AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER, 
FEB. 87. 
THE SNOW. 
I woke from a soothing soft slumber one morning, 
And peeped from my curtain-clad chamber at dawning; 
Without, lay the earth with a snow on her breast. 
While fleecy white flakes slowly fell from the west. 
The morning was calm as the face of the ocean 
When the wares He at rest, and the ship has no motion. 
Now, the night had been cold and had froseu the rill, 
And it slept under snow at the foot of the hill. 
As the snow ceased to fall and the clouds cleared away, 
The horizou lit up with the dawning of day; 
The landscape disclosed a most beautiful scene, 
And had changed for the white its own mantle of green. 
The silent old forest stood gleaming in white; 
The head of the oak grew grey on the sight; 
The maple's dark skin became prettily pale, 
And the heecb stood enrobed in a silvery veil. 
Each tree of the forest received the gay suit. 
And rejoiced in white from its top to its root; 
Tire willow, alone, as she swayed to and fro, 
Refused the gay garb and continued her woe. 
The sun, when he rose, was so charmed with t he show, 
That he would have looked on without melting the snow; 
But a gale from the south b’ew warm through the trees, 
And the snow fled away in the breath of the breeze.
