    Where a little headstone stood;
    How the flakes were folding it gently,
    As did robins the babes in the wood.

    Up spoke our own little Mabel,
    Saying, “Father, who makes it snow?”
    And I told of the good All-father
    Who cares for us here below.”
    —James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)

    And she, kissing back, could not know
    That my kiss was given to her sister,
    Folded close under deepening snow.”
    —James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)
