    Mocks the slow sight, and hides the gloomy skies;
    The fleecy clouds their chilly bosoms bare,
    And shed their substance on the floating air.

As I saw fair Chloris walk alone,
The feather'd snow came softly down,
As Jove, descending from his tow'r
To court her in a silver show'r.
The wanton snow flew to her breast,
As little birds into their nest;
But o'ercome with whiteness there,
For grief dissolv'd into a tear.
Thence falling on her garment hem,
To deck her, froze into a gem.

Filling the sky and earth below,
Over the housetops, over the street,
Over the heads of the people you meet.

To train ten thousand English to their side,
Or as a little snow, tumbled about,
Anon becomes a mountain.

Out of the bosom of the Air,
Out of the cloud-folds of her garments shaken,
Over the woodlands brown and bare,
Over the harvest-fields forsaken,
Silent, and soft, and slow
Descends the snow.
