Loreena Mckennitt - Snow
White Are The Far-off Plains, And White
The Fading Forests Grow;
The Wind Dies Out Along The Height
And Denser Still The Snow,
Falls Down Scarce Audibly.
A Gathering Weight On Roof And Tree
The Road Before Me Smooths And Fills
The Fences Dwindle, And The Hills
The Naked Trees Loom Spectrally
Apace, And All About
Are Blotted Slowly Out;
Into The Dim White Sky.
Lie Still Without A Sound;
The Meadows And Far-sheeted Streams
The Snow-fall Hoods Me Round;
Like Some Soft Minister Of Dreams
In Wood And Water, Earth And Air,
Save When Some Farmer's Sleigh, Urged On,
A Silence Everywhere.
With Rustling Runner And Sharp Bells,
Swings By Me And Is Gone;
A Sound Remote And Clear;
Or From The Empty Waste I Hear
The Barking Of A Dog, Or Call
To Cattle, Sharply Pealed,
Or Barnyard Far Afield;
Borne, Echoing From Some Wayside Stall
Then All Is Silent And The Snow Falls
Settling Soft And Slow
The Evening Deepens And The Grey
The World Seems Shrouded, Far Away.
Folds Closer Earth And Sky
Yon Buried Stream Plod Dumbly On And Dream
Its Noises Sleep, And I As Secret As
