The Snow - Edward Elgar - University of Denver - Kevin Padworski

University of Denver's Voces Aureas sings The Snow composed by Edward Elgar.
Conductor: Kevin Padworski
Winter 2024.
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'rs the winter brave;
O heart, so sooth and save, as does the snow.
The snow must melt, must go,
Fast, fast as water flow.
Not thus, my soul, O sow
Thy gifts to fade like snow.
O snow, thou'rt white no more,
Thy sparkling too, is o'er;
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.
O snow, thou’rt white no more,
Thy sparkling too is o’er;
O soul, be as before,
Was bright, be as before,
Was bright the snow, 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.
