The day was dark and dreary,
And the earth wa. cold and bare.
But I heard a murmur in the pine*
Of the storm king in the air.
It commenced in a little flurry,
And busily through the night
The snow flakes hurry and scurry,
Wearing their mantle of white,
All nightlong the storm roared on,   "
Gaining force as the morning c-nie.
Until street and field were buri* 1
Under drifts to the window fram*.
1 stood anil watched by the window,
And gazed at tbe leaden sky.
And saw a flurry of sparrows
Like brown leaves whiling by.
And every spruce and pine tree
Wore ermine too rich for 'an earl.
While every fence and arbor .
Wae ridged Inch deep with pearl,
I thought of the blackness hidden,
When tbe second morning shone,
Ae I looked around about me
On a world to me unknown.
And thought onr Heavenly Father
Wbo causes the snow to fall,
WIS over our sins aud follies
Spread bis mantle to cover them all, .;
