[Verse]
Em D C
White are the far-off plains
Am G/B C D
And white the fading forests grow
Am Em D
The wind dies out along the height
Am Em D
Denser still the snow___
Em D C
A gathering weight on roof and tree
Am G/B C D
Falls down scarce audibly
[Verse]
Em D C
Meadows and far-sheeted streams
Am G/B C D
Lie still without a sound
Am Em D
Like some soft minister of dreams
Am Em D
The snowfall hoods me around__
Em D C
In wood and water, earth and air
Am G/B C D C D
A silence is everywhere
[Verse]
Em D C
Save when it lowly spills
Am G/B C D
Some farmer's sleigh is urged on
Am Em D
With rustling runners and sharp bells
Am Em D
Swings by me and is gone___
Em D C
Or from the empty waste I hear
Am G/B C D C D C D
A sound remote and clear
[Verse]
Em D C
Barking of a dog
Am G/B C D
To cattle is sharply pealed
Am Em D
Borne echoing from some wayside stall
Am Em D
Or barnyard far afield__
Em D C
Then all is silent and the snow
Am G/B C D
Falls settling soft and slow
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
Em D C
The evening deepens and the grey
Am G/B C D
Folds closer earth and sky
Am Em D
The world seems shrouded so far away
Am Em D
Its noises sleep, and I____
Em D C
As secret as yon buried stream
Am G/B C D
Plod dumbly on and dream
C D C D
And dream__
