SNOW IN THE AIR
BY JAMES WHITCOMB RILEY
SNOW in the air -
Chill in blood and vein, -
Winter everywhere
Save in heart and brain!
Ho! the happy year will be
Mimic as we've found it, -
Head of it - and you, and me -
With the holly round it!
Frost and sleet, alack! -
Wind as bleak as wrath
Whips our faces back
As we foot the path; -
But the year - from there to here -
Copy as we've found it, -
Heart up - like the head, my dear,
With the holly round it!
Enjoy the season! - Rachel
