Lyrics
(German folk tune, Lyrics by Wm. Orland Bourne, 1881)
In flakes of a feathery white,
’Tis falling so gently and slow,
Oh pleasant to me is the sight
When silently falling the snow.
Snow snow snow,
When silently falling the snow,
Snow snow snow,
When silently falling the snow
This earth is all covered today
With mantle of radiant slow,
It sparkles and shines in the ray
In crystals of glittering snow.
Snow snow snow,
In crystals of glittering snow,
Snow snow snow,
In crystals of glittering snow
