Ileautlful Snow, i
Oh, the snow, the beautiful snow,
Filling the sky and the earth below;
Over the housetops, over the streets,
Over the heads of the people you meet;
Dancing, flirting, swimming along.
Beautiful snow, it can do nothing wrong,
flying to kiss a fair lady's cheek,
Clinging to lips in a frolicsome freak,
Beautiful snow, from the heuvens above,
Pure as an angel and tickle as love.
Oh, the snow, the beautiful snow,
IIow the flakes gather and laugh as they
go,
Whirling along in its maddening fun;
It plays in its glee with everyone,
Chasing, laughing, hurrying bit,
It lights up the face and it sparkles the
eye ;
And even the dogs with a bark and
. bound
Snap at the crystals that eddy around.
The town is alive and its heart's In a
glow
To welcome the coining of beautiful snow.
How the wild crowd goes swaying along,
Hailing each other with humor and song,
IIow the gay sledges like meteors flash by,
Bright for a moment, then lost to the eye,
Ringing, swinging, dashing they go
Over the crest of the beautiful snow,
Snow, so pure when it falls from the
sky.
To be trampled in mud by the crowd
rushing by,
To be trampled and tracked by the thou
sands of feet
Till.it blends with the horrible filth in
the street.'
Once I was pure as the snow, but I fell ;
Fell, like the snow-flakes, from heaven
to hell ;
Fell, to be trampled as the filsh of the
street ;
Fell, to be scoffed, to be spit on and
beat;
Pleading, cursing, dreading to die,
Selling my soul to whoever would buy.
Dealing in shame for a morsel of bread,
Hating the living and fearing the dead.
Merciful God, have I fallen so low
And yet I was once like this beautiful
snow?
One I was fair as the beautiful snow,
With an eye like its crystals, a heart
like its glow;
Once I was loved for my innocent grace.
Flattered and sought for the charm of
my face,
Father, mother, sisters, all.
(lo& and myself I have lost by my fall.
The veriest wretch that goes shivering
by
Will take a wide sween lest I wander
too nigh
For of all that is on or about me I
know
There is nothing that's pure, but the
beautiful snow.
