5876 Seba Smith 1792-1868 John Bartlett

 
NUMBER:5876
AUTHOR:Seba Smith (1792–1868)
QUOTATION:The cold winds swept the mountain-height,
  And pathless was the dreary wild,
And ’mid the cheerless hours of night
  A mother wandered with her child:
As through the drifting snows she press’d,
The babe was sleeping on her breast.
ATTRIBUTION:The Snow Storm.
