The Snow! the beauti ful snow: Causing discomfort wherever yon go, Sifting right through each crevice and crack, Making the cold chills creep up your back Filling the poor with sorrow and woe. Oh, don't talk to me of the beautiful snow. Ye Poets who sit by a warm fireside And write of the things you never have tried, Go work in the timber when it's forty below, Then see what you think of the beau tiful snow. Or go to Dakota where the strong breezes blow And pile up great drifts of the beau* tiful snow. Where men freeze to death ten yards from theirt door. Just try it up there for one winter o: more. And methinks you will cry in the depths of your woe, "Oh, deliver me Lord, from the teau tifbl snow." Go ait as I have sat, with eyes band aged tight. In a close, darkened room where one ray of light Will send shooting pain from your head to your toe, And you'll not care to gaze on the beautiful snow. Or go to the slums where they barter (heir soul For an armful of wood or a backet of coal Then write'from experience and let everyone know Just what you think of the beautiful snow. C. A.
