Epes Sargent Quote

The cold blast at the casement beats;
The window-panes are white;
The snow whirls through the empty streets;
It is a dreary night!

The cold blast at the casement beats; The window-panes are white; The snow whirls through the empty streets; It is a dreary night!

The cold blast at the casement beats; The window-panes are white; The snow whirls through the empty streets; It is a dreary night!

The cold blast at the casement beats; The window-panes are white; The snow whirls through the empty streets; It is a dreary night!

The cold blast at the casement beats; The window-panes are white; The snow whirls through the empty streets; It is a dreary night!
