Fresh flakes of snow fell while we were asleep
And draped the earth in a dazzle of stars
Now it is hard for summer-hearts to keep
The joy of winter from breaking through bars
...intended to keep splendid scenes of green
Within thought’s reach (while winds cut like a knife)
To buoy hope through days and months between
Trees robbed of leaves and buds primed with new life
For something about white delight instills
Our sense of sight with kind humility
As the Author of awe always fulfills
And exceeds fanciful expectancy
His Masterpieces startle hearts with cheer
Wonder and worship smile from ear to ear

Yes, I've shared the song below many times...
It is one of my favorite winter-welcome and prelude to Christmas carols!
