Life hath a jollity and zest

The air is silent save where stirs
A bugling breeze among the firs;

All heaven blooms
Where skies are silvery
And o'er the orient hills made glad
Oh, a time most fit to see
How beautiful the dawn can be!

Wide, sparkling fields snow
Beneath a blue
A glistening splendor crowns the woods
Life hath a jollity and zest,
A poignancy made manifest;
Laughter and courage have their way
At  of a winter's day.

Faint music rings in wold and dell,
The tinkling of a distant bell,
Where homestead lights with friendly glow
Glimmer across the drifted snow;
Beyond a valley dim and far
Lit by an occidental star,
Tall pines the marge of day beset
Like many a slender minaret,
Whence priest-like winds on crystal air
Summon the reverent world to prayer.
