The snow lies soft upon the lea,
Around the roots of trees and flowers,
A blessing sent from God above,
So thank him for the bountiful showers.
The kine are sheltered clean and warm,
The sheep within the fold are found.
The farmer takes a needed rest
Waiting the time to till his ground.
Cars glide along the opened roads
Between the snow banked on each side.
Clouds hang grey, and birds are still,
For snow has covered the countryside.
O friend and neighbor, let's our lesson learn,
From the snow which has fallen flake by flake,
To do our bit where'er we're placed,
And that good and bitter we all must take
