| Throughout the afternoon I watched them there | B |
| Snow fairies falling falling from the sky | A |
| Whirling fantastic in the misty air | B |
| Contending fierce for space supremacy | C |
| And they flew down a mightier force at night | D |
| As though in heaven there was revolt and riot | E |
| And they frail things had taken panic flight | D |
| Down to the calm earth seeking peace and quiet | E |
| I went to bed and rose at early dawn | F |
| To see them huddled together in a heap | G |
| Each merged into the other upon the lawn | F |
| Worn out by the sharp struggle fast asleep | G |
| The sun shone brightly on them half the day | H |
| By night they stealthily had stol'n away | H |

| And suddenly my thoughts then turned to you | I |
| Who came to me upon a winter's night | D |
| When snow sprites round my attic window flew | I |
| Your hair disheveled eyes aglow with light | D |
| My heart was like the weather when you came | J |
| The wanton winds were blowing loud and long | K |
| But you with joy and passion all aflame | J |
| You danced and sang a lilting summer song | K |
| I made room for you in my little bed | L |
| Took covers from the closet fresh and warm | M |
| A downful pillow for your scented head | L |
| And lay down with you resting in my arm | N |
| You went with Dawn You left me ere the day | H |
| The lonely actor of a dreamy play | H |
