The Snow-Shower.
17
Like these fair children of cloud and frost,That glisten a moment and then are lost,Flake after flake—All lost in the dark and silent lake.
Yet look again, for the clouds divide; A gleam of blue on the water lies:And far away, on the mountain-side, A sunbeam falls from the opening skies.But the hurrying host that flew betweenThe cloud and the water, no more is seen;Flake after flake,At rest in the dark and silent lake.
