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. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ADMETUS; TO MY FRIEND RALPH WALDO EMERSON by EMMA LAZARUS THE BAY FIGHT by HENRY HOWARD BROWNELL SHELLEY'S SKYLARK by THOMAS HARDY TO THE BOY by ELIZABETH CLEMENTINE DODGE KINNEY SINCE THOU ART GONE by HENRY VAUGHAN |
