('lic dowuy iiDW lies thlck uu fleld and hlll. The great white world is hnshed, aud afinoat stlll The murmurous muslc oí the nuiffled rlll. ?lhe nufeed tree Rnow-laden arms uprear n mute beseechment to the new-come year, Por Rofterskies and gentier atmoHpnere. Not death nor drowse the sllence slgnifles, For Ufe stil! reigiiR. and Earth witb open eyee, Loobs up unfrighted at the storiny skies She feels the beat of pulses in her veius, She knows the secret of the season's palng, And winter snows are sweet as summer ralns. Notdrowse nordeatli; in calm umi odiiscIouk rest Her hands are folded : while, across her breas t, The life of man moves on with added zest. In Uuman blood the frost becoraes a tire, And purpose flames, and hopes, and mrong desire, And work is good.and pleasures do not Ure. The rhythm oí hamniejs, shouts of boys at Dlav. And breeze borne tones of bells rung far away, Are gladsome sounds that turob ucross tbe day. There's cheer beneath yon rising smokeplumefair; These chiming sledges happy burdens bear, And laughter ripples all tbe flnent air. Name not the qulckenlng Wiuter death or slee.i; Though suns be few and snows be drlfted deep, The Living Life His endless sway doth keep. And every seasou has lts own dellght. And evory soul lts stars to shlne at night, And every scène of glooni its play of llghi . Deep in my heart let this dear truth be knowu- Though iife should swing me througli au Arctlc zone, Kternal Goodness still is on the throne.
