Snowflakes

Falling all the night-time,

Falling all the day,

Silent into silence,

From the far-away;

Stilly host unnumbered,

All the night and day

Falling, falling, falling

From the far-away, —

Never came like glory

To the fields and trees,

Never summer blossoms

Thick and white as these.

Falling all the night-time,

Falling all the day,

Follow, follow, follow,

Fold it soft away;

Folding, folding, folding,

Fold the world away,

Souls of flowers drifting

Down the winter day.
