There's a song "The Snow" with words by C. Alice Elgar. It's on a
wonderful Christmas double CD put out by Musical Heritage Society:
"Trumpets Sound, Voices Ring" with The American Boychoir and The Atlantic
Brass Quintet. (I didn't see it on their website recently, though.)

O snow, which sinks so light,
Brown earth is hid from sight,
O soul, be thou 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 flowers the winter brave;
O heart, so soothe and save,
As does the snow.

The snow must melt, must go,
Fast as water flow,
Not thus, my soul, O sow
Thy gifts to fade like snow.

O snow, thou art white no more,
Thy sparkling 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.

cheers,
Mike
