The first snw by Henry Wadswrth Lngfellw
The first snw came. Hw beautiful it was, falling s silently all day lng, all night lng, n the muntains, n the meadws, n the rfs f the living, n the graves f the dead! All white saved the river, that marked its curse by a winding black line acrss the landscape; and the leafless trees,
that against the leaden sky nw revealed mre fully the wnderful beauty and intricacies f their branches. What silence, t, came with the snw, and what seclusin! Every sund was muffled, every nise changed t smething sft and musical. N mre tramping hfs, n mre rattling wheels! Only the chiming f sleigh-bells, beating as swift and merrily as the hearts f children.
