CLEAR and cold, while 'neath the starlight
Swiftly flying o'er the snow
(Comes a numbing, dead sensation
Over every chilly toe).

From the runners, feathery cloudlets
See the whirling snow-dust fly
(While the tears in slow procession
Drop from every smarting eye).
In this wintry world, my darling,
With the stars we are alone
(Save the presence of a fretful,
Fat, and freezing chaperone).
See where through the thickest darkness
Dull and red the firelight glows
(From your eyelids flaming scarlet,
And your purple ears and nose).
Ah! the steed is Cupid's charger,
Love's own chariot the sleigh
(No! it's Pike's, and for your moonshine
There's a heavy bill to pay).
FEZ.
