4 Signs in the snow

4 Signs in the snow

“O snow, in thy soft grave
Sad flow’rs the winter brave;
O heart, so sooth and save,
as does the snow.
The snow must melt, must go,
Fast, fast as water flow.
Not thus, my soul, O sow
Thy gifts to fade like snow.”

(C.A. Elgar in The snow)
Voerstreek (B)

Memories in the snow

Memories in the snow

“In the gloom of whiteness
In the great silence of snow,
A child was sighing and bitterly saying; “Oh,
They have killed a white bird
up there on her nest,
The down is fluttering from her breast!”

And still it fell through that dusky brightness
On the child crying for the bird of the snow.”

(E. Thomas in Snow)
Voerstreek (B)
