No Hawk hangs over in this air: / The urgent snow is everywhere.
The wing adroiter than a sail / Must lean away from such a gale, / Abandoning its straight intent, / Or else expose tough ligament / And tender flesh to what before
Meant dampened feathers, nothing more.
Forceless upon our backs there fall / Infrequent flakes hexagonal, / Devised in many a curious style / To charm our safety for a while, / Where close to earth like mice we go / Under the Horizontal snow.
