The Winter Queen.


By Lucy Fitch Perkins.

Oh, have you seen the Winter Queen
In her robe of filmy lace,
With her shining crown and her cloak of down
And her gentle dreaming face?

The flowers love her, for a snow-white cover
To keep them warm she brings,
She tucks them around, with a crooning sound,
And they fall asleep as she sings.
