Snow Lyrics - To Drive The Cold Winter Away - Loreena Mckennitt

White are the far-off plains, 

And white the fading forests grow; 

The wind dies out amongst the tides 

And denser still the snow, 

A gathering weight on roof and tree 

Falls down scarce audibly. 

The meadows and far-sheeted streams 

Lie still without a sound; 

Like some soft minister of dreams 

The snowfall hoods me around; 

In wood and water, earth and air, 

A silence is everywhere.

Save when at lonely spells 

Some farmer's sleigh is urged on, 

With rustling runner and sharp bells, 

Swings by me and is gone; 

Or from the empty waste I hear 

A sound remote and clear; 

The barking of a dog, 

To cattle, is sharply pued, 

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 to sky 

The world seems shrouded, so far away. 

Its noises sleep, and I 

As secret as yon buried stream 

Plod dumbly on and dream.
