6 POEMS AND SONGS
Nils Finn pushed one ski farther forward with might;
The other held fast, —he reeled left and right.
— Pull it up!” rumbled yonder.
Nils’ tears wet the snow, while he kicked and he struck;
The more that he kicked there, the deeper he stuck.
—‘“ That was good!” rumbled yonder.
The birch-trees, they danced, and the pine-trees said
“Hoo!”
They more were than one,—were a hundred and two.
—‘ Know your way?” rumbled yonder.
A laugh shook the ridge till it made the snow fly;
But Nils clenched his fists and he swore ’t was a lie.
— ‘Now beware!” rumbled yonder.
The snow-field yawned wide, and the heavens came low;
Nils thought ’t was now time for him also to go.
—“Is he gone?” rumbled yonder. —
Two skis in the snow looked about everywhere,
But saw nothing much; for there was nothing there.
—“ Where is Nils?” rumbled yonder.
