The Winter Queen.


By Lucy Fitch Perkins.

Oh, have you seen the Winter QueenIn her robe of filmy lace,With her shining crown and her cloak of downAnd her gentle dreaming face?
The flowers love her, for a snow-white coverTo keep them warm she brings,She tucks them around, with a crooning sound,And they fall asleep as she sings.
