That hang, like a pall, over Nature’s fair face,

But serve to enhance each gleam of gold sunshine,

When new-waking Nature its beauties retrace.


[THE SONG OF THE SLUSH.]

The slush, the slush, the terrible slush,

That streams from each pore of the earth with a gush;

Impeding the travel, making walking a woe;

All on account of the “Beautiful Snow.”
