Quote by Ben Johnson
Have you seen but a bright lily grow,Before rude hands have to

Have you seen but a bright lily grow,
Before rude hands have touched it?
Have you marked but the fall o the snow
Before the soil hath smutched it?…
O so white! O so soft! O so sweet is she! – Ben Johnson

THE SNOW had begun in the gloaming,
And busily all the night
Had been heaping field and highway
With a silence deep and white.

Every pine and fir and hemlock
Wore ermine too dear for an earl,
And the poorest twig on the elm-tree
Was ridged inch deep with pearl. – James Russell Lowell

Frosty wind made moan,
Earth stood hard as iron,
Water like a stone;
Snow had fallen, snow on snow,
Snow on snow,
In the bleak midwinter,
Long ago. – Christina Rossetti
