08 Feb 97 - 04:57 AM (#2020) Subject: Lyr Add: SNOW (from Loreena McKennitt) From: bottarel@ipruniv.cce.unipr.it This one is missing in DT: SNOW (by Archibald Lampman) White are the far-off plains, and white The fading forests grow; The wind dies out along the height, And denser still the snow, A gathering weight no roof and tree, Falls down scarcely audibly. The road before me smooths and fills Apace, and all about The fences dwindle, and the hills Are bottled slowly out; The naked trees loom spectrally Into the dim white sky. The meadows and far-sheeted streams Lie still without a sound; Like some soft minister of dreams The snow-fall hoods me round; In wood and water, earth and air, A silence everywhere. Save when at lonely intervals Some farmer's sleigh, urged on With rustling runners and sharp bells, Swings by me an is gone; Or from the empty waste I hear A sound remote and clear The barking of a dog, or call To cattle, sharply pealed, Borne echoing from some wayside stall Or barnyard far afield; Then all is silent and the snow falls Settling soft and slow The evening deepens and the grey Folds closer earth and sky The world seems shrouded, far away. Its noises sleep, and I as secret as You buried stream plod dumbly on and dream. (recorded by Loreena McKennitt on 'To drive the cold winter away') |
