Words That Burn

The Snow Queen, by Dollie Radford (1858-1920)

The Snow Queen passed by our way last night,

Between the darkness and the light,

And flowers from an enchanted star

Fell showerlike from her flying car.

 

And silently through all the hours,

The trees have borne their magic flowers

And now stand up with dauntless head,

To catch the morning’s gold and red.
