THE WEAVER OF
SNOW
In polar noons
when the
moonshine
glimmers,
And the frost-fans
whirl,
And whiter than
moonlight the ice-flowers grow,
And the Silent
Laughers dance to and fro,
A stooping girl,
as pale as pearl
Gathers the
frost-flowers where they blow:
And the
fleet-footfairies smile, for they know,
The Weaver of
Snow.
