William Blake. (№ 301222)

I wandered one day on the winter trails.
- Play with me! I said to the snowflakes.
Played, and melted... Their behavior
Winter was horrified as the fall.
I walked abroad on a snowy day:
I ask'd the soft Snow with me to play:
She play d and she melted in all her prime;
And the Winter call d it a dreadful crime.
