As snow upon the evergreen
paints every bough a pearly white,
each crystal sparkles clear and clean
when struck by shafts of winter light.
What other landscape seems so bright
as snow upon the evergreen
or brings the soul such sheer delight
as found within this tranquil scene?
Unspoiled and spotless, so pristine,
this peaceful world seems pure and right
as snow upon the evergreen
falls softly down to end its flight.
As still of day turns silent night,
I know that I have never seen
more radiant or calm a sight
as snow upon the evergreen.
