The Blizzard and the City

THE BLIZZARD AND THE CITY The wind-blown snow went whirling by! The drifts piled up so very high! The avenue was changed to a rural road. The pines could hardly bare their load. The city vanished under a blanket of snow. A village appeared - but soon began to grow! The snowplows came to clear away the snow. The village died - victim of a mechanical foe! But for a very brief interval of time, Peace and beauty covered the city of crime. As if the only cure for mankind’s plight Is nature’s coverlet of purest white!
