Does the snow fall at sea?
Yes, when the north winds blow, / When the wild clouds fly low, / Out of each gloomy wing, / Silently glimmering, / Over the stormy sea / Falleth the snow.
Does the snow hide the sea?
Nay, on the tossing plains / Never a flake remains; / Drift never resteth there; / Vanishing everywhere, / Into the hungry sea / Falleth the snow.
What means the snow at sea?
Whirled in the veering blast, / Thickly the flakes drive past; / Each like a childish ghost / Wavers, and then is lost; / In the forgetful sea / Fadeth the snow.
1875.
