Vachel Lindsay

What the Snow Man Said

The Moon’€™s a snowball. See the drifts
Of white that cross the sphere.
The Moon’€™s a snowball, melted down
A dozen times a year.
 
Yet rolled again in hot July
When all my days are done
And cool to greet the weary eye
After the scorching sun.
 
The moon’€™s a piece of winter fair
Renewed the year around,
Behold it, deathless and unstained,
Above the grimy ground!
 
It rolls on high so brave and white
Where the clear air-rivers flow,
Proclaiming Christmas all the time
And the glory of the snow!
