Snow (For Lacy,)

in an attempt to balance out this blog and put some non-emo dispair in here...

Ah, snow! I keep going to the front door to get an update on the progress. Just THINK of how many snowflakes must fall for even just a dusting of snow, let alone inches! It's an amazing thing.

One of my favorite things of snow is how snow can make even the darkest night take on a translucent quality, with an ethereal light. Falling snow also seems to insulate, so that noises just aren't their normal sounding, and the quiet envelopes the listener.


This song was sung by the choir when I was in HS (I didn't sing it), but I always think of it when it snows...


Still, Still, Still


Still, still, still,
One can hear the falling snow.
For all is hushed,
The world is sleeping,
Holy Star its vigil keeping.
Still, still, still,
One can hear the falling snow.

Sleep, sleep, sleep,
'Tis the eve of our Saviour's birth.
The night is peaceful all around you,
Close your eyes,
Let sleep surround you.
Sleep, sleep, sleep,
'Tis the eve of our Saviour's birth.

Dream, dream, dream,
Of the joyous day to come.
While guardian angels without number,
Watch you as you sweetly slumber.
Dream, dream, dream,
Of the joyous day to come.
