Snow Song

Fairy snow, fairy snow,

Blowing, blowing everywhere,

Would that I

Too, could fly

Lightly, lightly through the air.


Like a wee, crystal star

I should drift, I should blow

Near, more near,

To my dear

Where he comes through the snow.


I should fly to my love

Like a flake in the storm,

I should die,

I should die,

On his lips that are warm.
