Fragments

“Soft Through the Silent Air”

December 18, 1847.

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.
