Whiter Than Snow

By Worthie Harris Holden

WORTHIE HARRIS HOLDEN
Lightly gentle zephyrs blow, Falling eider down of snow. In their frolic on the way, Mirthfully the livelong day Whirling flakes make merry round Ere they rest upon the ground.
Fir trees brave the wintry storm, Clad in splendid uniform,— Guards unwearied through the night In their proud arrayment white, Keeping watch till daybreak breeze Shakes the fleecy sentry trees.
Drear no more the barren clod With its blanket-gift from God; Ermine fit for kings' array Robes the highland and the brae. Like some blitheful errant knight Comes this wonder-working white.
Whiter than unsullied snow God transforms my heart, I know,— Mantles with his robe divine, Rears within my soul his shrine,— Not alone for one brief day, But to prove his grace for aye.
Portland, Oregon.
