雪花

作词 : 爱丽丝-埃尔加

作曲 : 爱德华-埃尔加

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 flow’s the winter brave,

O heart,so soothe and save,so soothe does thes snow

The snow must melt, must go

Fast , fast as waters flow.

Not thus my soul,not thus my sow

O sow, thy gift to fade like snow,

Not thus not thus o soul

Not thus thy gifts to fade,to fade like snow

O snow, thou’rt white no more,

Thy sparking too ,is ov’r.

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.
