16 Jul 04 - 12:23 AM (#1226689) Subject: Lyr Add: SNOWFLAKES (Mary Mapes Dodge) From: Amos SNOWFLAKES By Mary Mapes Dodge Whenever a snowflake leaves the sky, It turns and turns to say "Good-by! Good-by, dear clouds, so cool and gray!" Then lightly travels on its way. And when a snowflake finds a tree, "Good-day!" it says—"Good-day to thee! Thou art so bare and lonely, dear, I'll rest and call my comrades here." But when a snowflake, brave and meek, Lights on a rosy maiden's cheek, It starts—"How warm and soft the day! 'Tis summer!"—and it melts away. |

16 Jul 04 - 10:20 PM (#1227411) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Snowflake Song From: Bert Here's another snowflake song. mine of course A E7 A Sitting alone in a one room log shack E7 The mountains are carrying the clouds on their backs A E7 A The clouds they are nearer, it's starting to snow. E7 A Are there more stars than snowflakes? I guess I don't know. I look through the window at a storm getting near There's often a blizzard this time of the year Tomorrow it's Christmas, there's nowhere to go Are there more stars than snowflakes? I guess I don't know. A woman is riding alone in the storm She sees the light shining and rides where it's warm I open the door and I shout out 'Hello, Are there more stars than snowflakes?' She yells I don't know Come in for some coffee and stop for a while I take her coat and she says with a smile 'I'll give you the answer you're wanting to know Are there more stars than snowflakes? And then I must go' We look through the window at a storm getting near I ask the same question this time every year She says she will answer and then she must go Are there more stars than snowflakes? But she never does know. Bert |

The same poem is also quoted in a poetry review in The Literary World, Vol. 11, No. 1 (Boston, Mass.: E. H. Hames & Co., Jan. 3, 1880), page 12. The review is of Along the Way by Mrs. Mary Mapes Dodge (New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1879)—but that book has been reprinted as recently as 2007. |
