Beautiful Snow

Oh! The snow, the beautiful snow,
            Filling the sky and the earth below,
            Over the housetops, over the street,
            Over the heads of people you meet.
            Dancing,
                    Flirting,
                                  Skimming along,

            Beautiful snow! It can do no wrong;
            Flying to kiss a fair lady's cheek,
            Clinging to lips in frolicksome freak;
            Beautiful snow from heaven above,
            Pure as an angel, gentle as love!
