differ from most short poems?
Bead the verses aloud, trying to make your reading suggest "the hoofs of
invisible horses."

CHRISTMAS IN THE WOODS
DALLAS LORE SHARP
(In _The Lay of the Land_)
On the night before this particular Christmas every creature of the
woods that could stir was up and stirring; for over the old snow was
falling swiftly, silently, a soft, fresh covering that might mean a
hungry Christmas unless the dinner were had before morning.
But when the morning dawned, a cheery Christmas sun broke across the
great gum swamp, lighting the snowy boles and soft-piled limbs of the
giant trees with indescribable glory, and pouring, a golden flood, into
the deep spongy bottoms below.
