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 paths to its present course
The words, the deeds, the thoughts untold-
The love that last to a heart to.
Reflecting hues of the starless night,
The snow drifts into hills of white.
