HYMN OF WINTER.

By Samuel Longfellow

'Tis winter now; the fallen snow Has left the heavens all coldly clear; Through leafless boughs the sharp winds blow And all the earth lies dead and drear.
And yet God's love is not withdrawn; His life within the keen air breathes, His beauty paints the crimson dawn, And clothes the boughs with glittering wreaths.
And tho abroad the sharp winds blow, And skies are chill and frosts are keen, Home closer draws her circle now, And warmer glows the light within.
O God! who giv'st the winter's cold As well as summer's joyous rays, Us warmly in Thy love enfold, And keep us through life's wintry days. —Samuel Longfellow.
