[00:11.70]
[00:23.44]White are the far-off plains, and white
[00:30.16]The fading forests grow;
[00:34.72]The wind dies out along the height,
[00:40.70]And denser still the snow
[00:46.39]A gathering weight on roof and tree,
[00:52.42]Falls down scarce audibly
[00:57.50]
[01:01.65]The meadows and far-sheeted streams
[01:06.43]Lie still without a sound;
[01:12.68]Like some soft minister of dreams
[01:18.35]The snow-fall hoods me round;
[01:23.77]In wood and water, earth and air
[01:30.11]A silence everywhere
[01:35.74]
[01:44.01]Save when at lonely intervals
[01:49.12]Some farmer's sleigh, urged on,
[01:54.93]With rustling runners and sharp bells
[02:00.93]Swings by me and is gone;
[02:06.52]Or from the empty waste I hear
[02:12.50]A sound remote and clear
[02:19.70]
[02:33.01]The barking of a dog, or call
[02:38.04]To cattle, sharply pealed,
[02:43.12]Borne echoing from some wayside stall
[02:49.22]Or barnyard far afield;
[02:55.13]Then all is silent and the snow falls
[03:02.51]Settling soft and slow
[03:10.01]
[03:53.98]The evening deepens and the grey
[03:59.35]Folds closer earth and sky
[04:05.47]The world seems shrouded, far away.
[04:11.21]Its noises sleep, and I as secret as
[04:19.32]Yon buried stream plod dumbly on and dream.
[04:32.36]
[04:45.59][04:34.82]And dream
[04:51.69][04:41.25]
[04:55.50]And dream...
