THE white snow falls on hill and dale, <br />The snow falls white by square and street, <br />Falls on the town, a bridal veil, <br />And on the fields a winding-sheet. <br /> <br />A winding-sheet for last year's flowers, <br />For last year's love, and last year's tear, <br />A bridal veil for the New Hours, <br />For the New Love and the New Year. <br /> <br />Soft snow, spread out his winding-sheet! <br />Spin fine her veil, O bridal snow! <br />Cover the print of her dancing feet, <br />And the place where he lies low.<br /><br />Edith Nesbit<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/new-year-snow/
