FRAGMENT: DECEMBER 18, 1847, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Soft through the silent air descend the feathery snow-flakes
Last Line: Weareth the leaden hue seen in the eyes of the blind.


Soft through the silent air descend the feathery snow-flakes;
White are the distant hills, white are the neighboring fields;
Only the marshes are brown, and the river rolling among them
Weareth the leaden hue seen in the eyes of the blind.
