‘IN WINTER'S DULL AND CHEERLESS REIGN’
“Deme supercilio nubem.”
Horace.
In winter's dull and cheerless reign,
What flower could ever glow?
Beneath the ice of thy disdain,
What song could ever flow?
What flower could ever glow?
Beneath the ice of thy disdain,
What song could ever flow?
Restore thy smile!—beneath its ray
The flower of verse shall rise;
And all the ice that froze my lay
Be melted by thine eyes!
The flower of verse shall rise;
And all the ice that froze my lay
Be melted by thine eyes!
C. T.
