Analysis of On The Forthcoming Volume Of Sidney Lenier's Poems
John Bannister Tabb 1845 (Amelia County) – 1909 ( Ellicott City)
Snow! Snow! Snow!
Do thy worst, Winter, but know, but know
That, when the Spring cometh, a blossom shall blow
From the heart of the Poet that sleeps below,
And his name to the ends of the earth shall go,
In spite of the snow!
