BEAUTIFUL SNOW, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Beautiful snow, so pure and white
Last Line: And sweet, beautiful faith and love.
Subject(s): Snow


Beautiful snow, so pure and white,
Dancing through the air you go;
Falling so gently, softly and light
From th' clouds above to the earth below.

Beautiful snow, so pure and white,
Th' crowning beauty of winter cold;
Falling both by day and by night,
Falling on mountain-top and wold.

Beautiful snow so pure and white,
Falling gently on vale and dell;
Covering the cottage of the pure,
And the mansion of the rich as well.

Beautiful snow, so pure and white,
Falling on things both high and low;
Hiding the fallen leaves out of sight,
While over the brown tree you thickly blow.

Beautiful snow, white and pure,
Oh, how I love to see you fall!
Oh, I am certain, yes, I am sure,
Nothing's as pretty as snow at all.

Lord! make my heart as pure and white,
As the snow when it falls from above;
Fill with Thy truth and light
And sweet, beautiful faith and love.
