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

All bloodless lay the untrodden snow,
And dark as winter was the flow
Of Iser, rolling rapidly. – Thomas Campbell

And busily all the night
Had been heaping field and highway
With a silence deep and white.

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