The Alabaster Ball

 

 

The Alabaster Ball

 

Earth sent invitations

To a danse one night

Requesting all invited

Please, to come in white.

The glass-coached clouds assembled

And the ebon Sky

Banked its brightest fire,

Snuffed each candled eye -

Then The Winds belled music,

Set a whirling pace

And down the heavens

Waltzed the Snows,

In their finest lace.
