Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm + +Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of +electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers +including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists +because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from +people in all walks of life. + +Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the +assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's +goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will +remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive +Foundation + +The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit +501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the +state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal +Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification +number is 64-6221541. Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at +http://pglaf.org/fundraising.

Newby + Chief Executive and Director + gbnewby@pglaf.org + + +Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + http://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> diff --git a/22406-h/images/016a.jpg b/22406-h/images/016a.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644

They dwelt + Beside a glen and near a dashing brook, + A pleasant spot in spring, where first the wren + Was heard to chatter, and, among the grass, + Flowers opened earliest; but, when winter came, + That little brook was fringed with other flowers,-- + White flowers, with crystal leaf and stem, that grew + In clear November nights. And, later still, + That mountain glen was filled with drifted snows + From side to side, that one might walk across, + While, many a fathom deep, below, the brook + Sang to itself, and leaped and trotted on + Unfrozen, o'er its pebbles, toward the vale. + + _Alice._--A mountain's side, you said; the Alps, perhaps, + Or our own Alleghanies. + + _Uncle John._-- Not so fast, + My young geographer, for then the Alps, + With their broad pastures, haply were untrod + Of herdsman's foot, and never human voice + Had sounded in the woods that overhang + Our Alleghany's streams. I think it was + Upon the slopes of the great Caucasus, + Or where the rivulets of Ararat + Seek the Armenian vales. That mountain rose + So high, that, on its top, the winter snow + Was never melted, and the cottagers + Among the summer blossoms, far below, + Saw its white peaks in August from their door. + +[Illustration] + + One little maiden, in that cottage home, + Dwelt with her parents, light of heart and limb, + Bright, restless, thoughtless, flitting here and there, + Like sunshine on the uneasy ocean waves, + And sometimes she forgot what she was bid, + As Alice does. + +[Illustration] + + _Alice._-- Or Willy, quite as oft. + + _Uncle John._--But you are older, Alice, two good years, + And should be wiser. Eva was the name + Of this young maiden, now twelve summers old. + Now you must know that, in those early times, + When autumn days grew pale, there came a troop + Of childlike forms from that cold mountain top; + With trailing garments through the air they came, + Or walked the ground with girded loins, and threw + Spangles of silvery frost upon the grass, + And edged the brook with glistening parapets, + And built it crystal bridges, touched the pool, + And turned its face to glass, or, rising thence, + They shook, from their full laps, the soft, light snow, + And buried the great earth, as autumn winds + Bury the forest floor in heaps of leaves. + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + + A beautiful race were they, with baby brows, + And fair, bright locks, and voices like the sound + Of steps on the crisp snow, in which they talked + With man, as friend with friend. A merry sight + It was, when, crowding round the traveller, + They smote him with their heaviest snow-flakes, flung + Needles of frost in handfuls at his cheeks, + And, of the light wreaths of his smoking breath, + Wove a white fringe for his brown beard, and laughed + Their slender laugh to see him wink and grin + And make grim faces as he floundered on. + But, when the spring came on, what terror reigned + Among these Little People of the Snow! + To them the sun's warm beams were shafts of fire, + And the soft south wind was the wind of death. + Away they flew, all with a pretty scowl + Upon their childish faces, to the north, + Or scampered upward to the mountain's top, + And there defied their enemy, the Spring; + Skipping and dancing on the frozen peaks, + And moulding little snow-balls in their palms, + And rolling them, to crush her flowers below, + Down the steep snow-fields. + +[Illustration] + + _Alice._-- That, too, must have been + A merry sight to look at. + + _Uncle John._-- You are right, + But I must speak of graver matters now. + +[Illustration] + + Mid-winter was the time, and Eva stood, + Within the cottage, all prepared to dare + The outer cold, with ample furry robe + Close belted round her waist, and boots of fur, + And a broad kerchief, which her mother's hand + Had closely drawn about her ruddy cheek. + "Now, stay not long abroad," said the good dame, + "For sharp is the outer air, and, mark me well, + Go not upon the snow beyond the spot + Where the great linden bounds the neighboring field." + +[Illustration] + + The little maiden promised, and went forth, + And climbed the rounded snow-swells firm with frost + Beneath her feet, and slid, with balancing arms, + Into the hollows. Once, as up a drift + She slowly rose, before her, in the way, + She saw a little creature lily-cheeked, + With flowing flaxen locks, and faint blue eyes, + That gleamed like ice, and robe that only seemed + Of a more shadowy whiteness than her cheek. + On a smooth bank she sat. + +[Illustration] + + _Alice._-- She must have been + One of your Little People of the Snow. + + _Uncle John._--She was so, and, as Eva now drew near + The tiny creature bounded from her seat; + "And come," she said, "my pretty friend; to-day + We will be playmates. I have watched thee long, + And seen how well thou lov'st to walk these drifts, + And scoop their fair sides into little cells, + And carve them with quaint figures, huge-limbed men, + Lions, and griffins. We will have, to-day, + A merry ramble over these bright fields, + And thou shalt see what thou hast never seen." + +[Illustration] + + On went the pair, until they reached the bound + Where the great linden stood, set deep in snow, + Up to the lower branches. "Here we stop," + Said Eva, "for my mother has my word + That I will go no further than this tree." + Then the snow-maiden laughed: "And what is this? + This fear of the pure snow, the innocent snow, + That never harmed aught living? Thou mayst roam + For leagues beyond this garden, and return + In safety; here the grim wolf never prowls, + And here the eagle of our mountain-crags + Preys not in winter. I will show the way + And bring thee safely home. Thy mother, sure, + Counselled thee thus because thou hadst no guide." + +[Illustration] + + By such smooth words was Eva won to break + Her promise, and went on with her new friend, + Over the glistening snow and down a bank + Where a white shelf, wrought by the eddying wind, + Like to a billow's crest in the great sea, + Curtained an opening. "Look, we enter here." + And straight, beneath the fair o'erhanging fold, + Entered the little pair that hill of snow, + Walking along a passage with white walls, + And a white vault above where snow-stars shed + A wintry twilight. Eva moved in awe, + And held her peace, but the snow-maiden smiled, + And talked and tripped along, as, down the way, + Deeper they went into that mountainous drift. + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + + And now the white walls widened, and the vault + Swelled upward, like some vast cathedral dome, + Such as the Florentine, who bore the name + Of heaven's most potent angel, reared, long since, + Or the unknown builder of that wondrous fane, + The glory of Burgos. Here a garden lay, + In which the Little People of the Snow + Were wont to take their pastime when their tasks + Upon the mountain's side and in the clouds + Were ended. Here they taught the silent frost + To mock, in stem and spray, and leaf and flower, + The growths of summer. Here the palm upreared + Its white columnar trunk and spotless sheaf + Of plume-like leaves; here cedars, huge as those + Of Lebanon, stretched far their level boughs, + Yet pale and shadowless; the sturdy oak + Stood, with its huge gnarled roots of seeming strength, + Fast anchored, in the glistening bank; light sprays + Of myrtle, roses in their bud and bloom, + Drooped by the winding walks; yet all seemed wrought + Of stainless alabaster; up the trees + Ran the lithe jessamine, with stalk and leaf + Colorless as her flowers. "Go softly on," + Said the snow-maiden; "touch not, with thy hand, + The frail creation round thee, and beware + To sweep it with thy skirts. Now look above. + How sumptuously these bowers are lighted up + With shifting gleams that softly come and go! + These are the northern lights, such as thou seest + In the midwinter nights, cold, wandering flames, + That float, with our processions, through the air; + And here, within our winter palaces, + Mimic the glorious daybreak." Then she told + How, when the wind, in the long winter nights, + Swept the light snows into the hollow dell, + She and her comrades guided to its place + Each wandering flake, and piled them quaintly up, + In shapely colonnade and glistening arch, + With shadowy aisles between, or bade them grow + Beneath their little hands, to bowery walks + In gardens such as these, and, o'er them all, + Built the broad roof. "But thou hast yet to see + A fairer sight," she said, and led the way + To where a window of pellucid ice + Stood in the wall of snow, beside their path. + "Look, but thou mayst not enter." Eva looked, + And lo! a glorious hall, from whose high vault + Stripes of soft light, ruddy, and delicate green, + And tender blue, flowed downward to the floor + And far around, as if the aerial hosts, + That march on high by night, with beamy spears, + And streaming banners, to that place had brought + Their radiant flags to grace a festival. + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + + And in all that hall a joyous multitude + Of those by whom its glistening walls were reared, + Whirled in a merry dance to silvery sounds, + That rang from cymbals of transparent ice, + And ice-cups, quivering to the skilful touch + Of little fingers. Round and round they flew, + As when, in spring, about a chimney-top, + A cloud of twittering swallows, just returned, + Wheel round and round, and turn and wheel again, + Unwinding their swift track. So rapidly + Flowed the meandering stream of that fair dance, + Beneath that dome of light. Bright eyes that looked + From under lily brows, and gauzy scarfs + Sparkling like snow-wreaths in the early sun, + Shot by the window in their mazy whirl. + And there stood Eva, wondering at the sight + Of those bright revellers and that graceful sweep + Of motion as they passed her;--long she gazed, + And listened long to the sweet sounds that thrilled + The frosty air, till now the encroaching cold + Recalled her to herself. "Too long, too long + I linger here," she said, and then she sprang + Into the path, and with a hurried step + Followed it upward. Ever by her side + Her little guide kept pace. As on they went + Eva bemoaned her fault: "What must they think-- + The dear ones in the cottage, while so long, + Hour after hour, I stay without? I know + That they will seek me far and near, and weep + To find me not. How could I, wickedly, + Neglect the charge they gave me?" As she spoke, + The hot tears started to her eyes; she knelt + In the mid path. "Father! forgive this sin; + Forgive myself I cannot"--thus she prayed, + And rose and hastened onward. When, at last, + They reached the outer air, the clear north breathed + A bitter cold, from which she shrank with dread, + But the snow-maiden bounded as she felt + The cutting blast, and uttered shouts of joy, + And skipped, with boundless glee, from drift to drift, + And danced round Eva, as she labored up + The mounds of snow, "Ah me! I feel my eyes + Grow heavy," Eva said; "they swim with sleep; + I cannot walk for utter weariness, + And I must rest a moment on this bank, + But let it not be long." As thus she spoke, + In half-formed words, she sank on the smooth snow, + With closing lids. Her guide composed the robe + About her limbs, and said, "A pleasant spot + Is this to slumber in; on such a couch + Oft have I slept away the winter night, + And had the sweetest dreams." So Eva slept, + But slept in death; for when the power of frost + Locks up the motions of the living frame, + The victim passes to the realm of Death + Through the dim porch of Sleep. The little guide, + Watching beside her, saw the hues of life + Fade from the fair smooth brow and rounded cheek, + As fades the crimson from a morning cloud, + Till they were white as marble, and the breath + Had ceased to come and go, yet knew she not + At first that this was death. But when she marked + How deep the paleness was, how motionless + That once lithe form, a fear came over her. + She strove to wake the sleeper, plucked her robe, + And shouted in her ear, but all in vain; + The life had passed away from those young limbs. + Then the snow-maiden raised a wailing cry, + Such as a dweller in some lonely wild, + Sleepless through all the long December night, + Hears when the mournful East begins to blow. + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + + But suddenly was heard the sound of steps, + Grating on the crisp snow; the cottagers + Were seeking Eva; from afar they saw + The twain, and hurried toward them. As they came, + With gentle chidings ready on their lips, + And marked that death-like sleep, and heard the tale + Of the snow-maiden, mortal anguish fell + Upon their hearts, and bitter words of grief + And blame were uttered: "Cruel, cruel one, + To tempt our daughter thus, and cruel we, + Who suffered her to wander forth alone + In this fierce cold." They lifted the dear child, + And bore her home and chafed her tender limbs, + And strove, by all the simple arts they knew, + To make the chilled blood move, and win the breath + Back to her bosom; fruitlessly they strove. + The little maid was dead. In blank despair + They stood, and gazed at her who never more + Should look on them. "Why die we not with her?" + They said; "without her life is bitterness." + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + + Now came the funeral day; the simple folk + Of all that pastoral region gathered round, + To share the sorrow of the cottagers. + They carved a way into the mound of snow + To the glen's side, and dug a little grave + In the smooth slope, and, following the bier, + In long procession from the silent door, + Chanted a sad and solemn melody. + +[Illustration] + + "Lay her away to rest within the ground. + Yea, lay her down whose pure and innocent life + Was spotless as these snows; for she was reared + In love, and passed in love life's pleasant spring, + And all that now our tenderest love can do + Is to give burial to her lifeless limbs." + + They paused. A thousand slender voices round, + Like echoes softly flung from rock and hill, + Took up the strain, and all the hollow air + Seemed mourning for the dead; for, on that day, + The little people of the snow had come, + From mountain-peak, and cloud, and icy hall, + To Eva's burial. As the murmur died, + The funeral train renewed the solemn chant. + +[Illustration] + + "Thou, Lord, hast taken her to be with Eve, + Whose gentle name was given her. Even so, + For so Thy wisdom saw that it was best + For her and us. We bring our bleeding hearts, + And ask the touch of healing from Thy hand, + As, with submissive tears, we render back + The lovely and beloved to Him who gave." + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + + They ceased. Again the plaintive murmur rose. + From shadowy skirts of low-hung cloud it came, + And wide white fields, and fir-trees capped with snow, + Shivering to the sad sounds. They sank away + To silence in the dim-seen distant woods. + The little grave was closed; the funeral train + Departed; winter wore away; the spring + Steeped, with her quickening rains, the violet tufts, + By fond hands planted where the maiden slept. + But, after Eva's burial, never more + The Little People of the Snow were seen + By human eye, nor ever human ear + Heard from their lips, articulate speech again; + For a decree went forth to cut them off, + Forever, from communion with mankind. + The winter clouds, along the mountain-side, + Rolled downward toward the vale, but no fair form + Leaned from their folds, and, in the icy glens, + And aged woods, under snow-loaded pines, + Where once they made their haunt, was emptiness. + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + + But ever, when the wintry days drew near, + Around that little grave, in the long night, + Frost-wreaths were laid and tufts of silvery rime + In shape like blades and blossoms of the field, + As one would scatter flowers upon a bier. + +[Illustration] + + + + + +End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of The Little People of the Snow, by +William Cullen Bryant + +*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE LITTLE PEOPLE OF THE SNOW *** + +***** This file should be named 22406.txt or 22406.zip ***** +This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: + http://www.gutenberg.org/2/2/4/0/22406/ + +Produced by David Edwards, Emmy and the Online Distributed +Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net (This file was +produced from scans of public domain material produced by +Microsoft for their Live Search Books site.) + + +Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions +will be renamed. + +Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no +one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation +(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without +permission and without paying copyright royalties.
