Loreena Mckennitt - Snow |
[00:11.70] |
|
[00:23.44] |
White are the far-off plains, and white |
[00:30.16] |
The fading forests grow; |
[00:34.72] |
The wind dies out along the height, |
[00:40.70] |
And denser still the snow |
[00:46.39] |
A gathering weight on roof and tree, |
[00:52.42] |
Falls down scarce audibly |
[00:57.50] |
|
[01:01.65] |
The meadows and far-sheeted streams |
[01:06.43] |
Lie still without a sound; |
[01:12.68] |
Like some soft minister of dreams |
[01:18.35] |
The snow-fall hoods me round; |
[01:23.77] |
In wood and water, earth and air |
[01:30.11] |
A silence everywhere |
[01:35.74] |
|
[01:44.01] |
Save when at lonely intervals |
[01:49.12] |
Some farmer's sleigh, urged on, |
[01:54.93] |
With rustling runners and sharp bells |
[02:00.93] |
Swings by me and is gone; |
[02:06.52] |
Or from the empty waste I hear |
[02:12.50] |
A sound remote and clear |
[02:19.70] |
|
[02:33.01] |
The barking of a dog, or call |
[02:38.04] |
To cattle, sharply pealed, |
[02:43.12] |
Borne echoing from some wayside stall |
[02:49.22] |
Or barnyard far afield; |
[02:55.13] |
Then all is silent and the snow falls |
[03:02.51] |
Settling soft and slow |
[03:10.01] |
|
[03:53.98] |
The evening deepens and the grey |
[03:59.35] |
Folds closer earth and sky |
[04:05.47] |
The world seems shrouded, far away. |
[04:11.21] |
Its noises sleep, and I as secret as |
[04:19.32] |
Yon buried stream plod dumbly on and dream. |
[04:32.36] |
|
[04:45.59][04:34.82] |
And dream |
[04:51.69][04:41.25] |
|
[04:55.50] |
And dream... |
[05:09.03] |
|
[05:14.18] |
|
[05:28.78] |
