Loreena McKennitt - Snow Lyrics
White are the far-off plainsAnd white the fading forests growThe wind dies out along the heightDenser still the snowA gathering weight on roof and treeFalls down scarce audiblyThe meadows and far-sheeted streamsLie still without a soundLike some soft minister of dreamsThe snowfall hoods me aroundIn wood and water, earth and airA silence is everywhereSave when it lowly spillsSome farmer's sleigh is urged onWith rustling runners and sharp bellsSwings by me and is goneOr from the empty waste I hearA sound remote and clearThe barking of a dogTo cattle is sharply pealedBorne echoing from some wayside stallOr barnyard far afieldThen all is silent and the snowFalls settling soft and slowThe evening deepens and the grayFolds closer earth and skyThe world seems shrouded so far awayIts noises sleep, and IAs secret as yon buried streamPlod dumbly on and dreamAnd dream...
