Living

Snow

by Mary Mapes Dodge 1831–1905

From Rhymes and Jingles (1875)

Living

Little white feathers, filling the air--
Little white feathers! how came ye there?
"We came from the cloud-birds sailing so high;
They're shaking their white wings up in the sky."

Little white feathers, how swift you go!
Little white feathers, I love you so!
"We are swift because we have work to do;
But hold up your face, and we'll kiss you true."
