First Line: A snowflake sailed through the frosty air
Last Line: For it thought that the summer was here.
Subject(s): Snow
A snowflake sailed through the frosty air,
Pure and glistening, and fashioned rare,
And it kissed the cheek of a maiden fair,
And straightway became a tear.
For the glow and the warmth of the maiden's cheek
Were like breath of June, and of roses sweet;
And with farewell kiss did the snowflake weep,
For it thought that the Summer was here.
