| [00:23.82] |
White are the far-off plains, and white |
| [00:30.26] |
The fading forests grow; |
| [00:34.76] |
The wind dies out along the height, |
| [00:40.56] |
And denser still the snow |
| [00:46.16] |
A gathering weight on roof and tree, |
| [00:51.60] |
Falls down scarce audibly |
| [01:00.48] |
The meadows and far-sheeted streams |
| [01:05.69] |
Lie still without a sound; |
| [01:11.90] |
Like some soft minister of dreams |
| [01:17.68] |
The snow-fall hoods me round; |
| [01:24.31] |
In wood and water, earth and air |
| [01:29.11] |
A silence everywhere |
| [01:48.81] |
Save when at lonely intervals |
| [01:54.19] |
Some farmer's sleigh, urged on, |
| [02:00.10] |
With rustling runners and sharp bells |
| [02:05.91] |
Swings by me and is gone; |
| [02:11.38] |
Or from the empty waste I hear |
| [02:16.27] |
A sound remote and clear |
| [02:26.27] |
The barking of a dog, or call |
| [02:32.12] |
To cattle, sharply pealed, |
| [02:37.28] |
Borne echoing from some wayside stall |
| [02:43.06] |
Or barnyard far afield; |
| [02:49.44] |
Then all is silent and the snow falls |
| [02:55.87] |
Settling soft and slow |
| [03:26.60] |
The evening deepens and the grey |
| [03:31.89] |
Folds closer earth and sky |
| [03:37.45] |
The world seems shrouded, far away. |
| [03:43.13] |
Its noises sleep, and I as secret as |
| [03:51.48] |
Yon buried stream plod dumbly on and dream. |
| [04:04.80] |
And dream |
| [04:10.09] |
And dream |
| [04:15.89] |
And dream |
| [04:21.39] |
And dream |
| [04:26.63] |
And dream |
| [04:32.15] |
And dream |
| [04:37.95] |
And dream |
| [04:43.31] |
And dream |
