Use the poem to answer the question
The snow drifts into hills of white
The imprints of his lonely plight
Lie deep beneath the fallen snow
Lost to all but those who know
The truths that spurred this venture forth
From warmer pasts to its present course,
The words, the deeds, the thoughts untold-
The love that lost to a heart too bold.
Reflecting hues of starless night,
The snow drifts into hills of white
