To A Snowflake

What heart could have thought you? — Past our devisal (O filigree petal!) Fashioned so purely,

Fragilely, surely,

From curled silver vapor,

To lust of His mind — Thou could'st not have thought me!

So purely, so palely,

Tinily, surely,

Mightily, frailly,

Insculped and embossed,

With His hammer of wind,

And His graver of frost."
