Additional quotes by Mary Mapes Dodge

Whenever a snow-flake leaves the sky,
It turns and turns to say "Good-bye!
Good-by, dear cloud, so cool and gray!"
Then lightly travels on its way.

But I believe that God is overhead;
And as life is to the living, so death is to the dead.

But when a snow-flake, brave and meek,
Lights on a rosy maiden's cheek,
It starts—"How warm and soft the day!"
"'Tis summer!" and it melts away.
