Beautiful song by Elgar for 2 violins, piano and SSA chorus, based on a poem by his wife. Transposed here and performed by the dwsChorale

---

O snow, which sinks so light,
Brown earth is hid from sight,
O soul, be thou as white,
As white as snow

O snow, which falls so slow,
Dear earth quite warm below;
O heart, so keep thy glow,
Beneath the snow.

O snow, in thy soft grave
Sad flow’rs the winter brave;
O heart, so soothe 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.

O snow, thou’rt white no more,
Thy spark’ling too, is o’er;
O soul, be as before,
Was bright the snow:

Then as the snow all pure,
O heart be, but endure;
Through all the years full sure,
Not as the snow.

C. Alice Elgar
