NAPOLEON by MARGARET DELANEY

First Line: HE BOASTED VAUNTINGLY OF WORLD-WIDE POWER
Last Line: WERE CRUSHED BY LITTLE SIFTING FLAKES OF SNOW.
Subject(s): NAPOLEON I - INVASION OF RUSSIA;
He boasted vauntingly of world-wide power,
The greatest empire earth should ever know;
His mighty dreams in that dark Russian hour
Were crushed by little sifting flakes of snow.
