Snow

page 19

Snow.

Oh snow which sinks so light,
Brown earth is hid from sight!
Oh Soul! Be thou as white as snow.
Oh snow, which falls so slow;
Dear earth quite warm below—
Oh heart! so keep thy glow beneath the snow.

Oh snow! in thy soft grave
Sad flowers the winter brave.
Oh heart! so soothe and save
As does the snow!

The snow must melt, must go
Fast as waters flow.
Not thus my soul. Oh sow
Thy gifts!—to fade like snow—
Not thus, not thus, Oh sow!

Oh snow! thou'rt white no more;
Thy sparkling too is o'er.
Oh soul! be as before
Was bright the snow.
Then as the snow all pure
Oh heart be! But endure
Through all the years full sure—
Not as the snow.
