Verse:
Em      D    C
White are the far-off plains
  Am    G/B  C    D
And white the fading forests grow
  Am       Em    D
The wind dies out along the height

Denser still the snow___
 Em    D     C
A gathering weight on roof and tree
   Am     G/B C   D
Falls down scarce audibly

Meadows and far-sheeted streams

Lie still without a sound
Am         Em   D
Like some soft minister of dreams
       Am    Em D
The snowfall hoods me around__

In wood and water, earth and air
 Am     G/B C   D C D
A silence is everywhere

Em      D   C
Save when it lowly spills
   Am    G/B    C   D
Some farmer's sleigh is urged on
   Am          Em  D
With rustling runners and sharp bells
Am         Em D
Swings by me and is gone___
  Em    D  C
Or from the empty waste I hear
 Am   G/B   C   D C D C D
A sound remote and clear

Verse:
Em   D  C
Barking of a dog
  Am G/B  C    D
To cattle is sharply pealed

Borne echoing from some wayside stall
  Am      Em D
Or barnyard far afield__
   Em   D   C
Then all is silent and the snow
   Am    G/B   C   D
Falls settling soft and slow

Verse:
  Em    D       C
The evening deepens and the grey
   Am G/B C     D
Folds closer earth and sky
  Am           Em  D
The world seems shrouded so far away
  Am        Em D
Its noises sleep, and I____
  Em   D   C
As secret as yon buried stream
   Am   G/B  C   D
Plod dumbly on and dream
  C  D  C D
And dream__
  C  D  C D
And dream__
  C  D
And dream__
  Em
And dream__
