It snowed—oh, how it snowed the land,
Through every clime, through every hour.
Upon the stand, with steady hand,
A candle glowed—small sun, soft power.
Snowflakes drifted from the yard,
Kissed the waiting window glass,
Turning night to something charmed,
As silence learned to gently pass.
The world grew pale, a whispered white,
A misty, dream-lit fairy scene,
Where earth forgot its weight and might
And all became what snow had been.
