SNOW QUOTES II
quotations about snow
Snow falling soundlessly in the middle of the night will always fill my heart with sweet clarity.
NOVALA TAKEMOTO
Missin'
The first snow in Kokomo
Off an Indiana highway, I was on my way to Kokomo
A funny friend named Chuck slipped and bumped his head (oops)
And as we picked him up, asked us had his nose turned red
That was the first snow in Kokomo
ARETHA FRANKLIN
"First Snow in Kokomo"
I'll soon be there with snow
I'll wash my hair with snow
And with a spade of snow
I'll build a man that's made of snow
I'd love to stay up with you but I recommend a little shuteye
Go to sleep
And dream
Of snow
IRVING BERLIN
"Snow"
Snow makes a soft bed, but no man wakes from it. That was the wisdom of the North.
MARK LAWRENCE
Prince of Fools
In the bleak mid-winter
Frosty wind made moan,
Earth stood hard as iron,
Water like a stone;
Snow had fallen, snow on snow,
Snow on snow,
In the bleak mid-winter
Long ago.
CHRISTINA ROSSETTI
Mid-Winter
Now some folks like the summertime when the they can walk about
Strolling through the meadow green it's pleasant there no doubt
But give me the wintertime when the snow is on the ground
For I found her when the snow on the ground
I traced her little footprints in the snow
I found her little footprints in the snow
I bless that happy day when Nellie lost her way
For I found her when the snow was on the ground
BILL MONROE
"Footprints in the Snow"
See the sunlight through the pine
Taste the warm of winter wine
Dream of softly falling snow
Winter snow Aspenglow
JOHN DENVER
"Aspenglow"
Snow flurries began to fall and they swirled around people's legs like house cats. It was magical, this snow globe world.
SARAH ADDISON ALLEN
The Sugar Queen
But pleasures are like poppies spread--
You seize the flow'r, its bloom is shed;
Or like the snow falls in the river--
A moment white -- then melts for ever.
ROBERT BURNS
Tam o' Shanter
The aging process has you firmly in its grasp if you never get the urge to throw a snowball.
DOUG LARSON

Floridians, start your gloating: Snow is on the ground in 49 of 50 states. Only Florida is snow free.
DOYLE RICE
"Snow is on the ground in 49 of 50 states", USA Today, January 9, 2017
I sit in the snow
The town lights aglow
The air is alight
We drown in the night
XTC
"I Sit in the Snow"
Are ye the ghosts of fallen leaves,
O flakes of snow,
For which, through naked trees, the winds
A-mourning go?
Or are ye angels, bearing home
The host unseen
Of truant spirits, to be clad
Again in green?
JOHN B. TABB
"Phantoms", Poems
First snow cover my mistakes
Cover the past with your flakes
Perfect white sheet, beneath my feet
I hurt her so, cleanse me first snow
PHIL OCHS
"First Snow"
The glazed snow crackled underfoot as he started towards the great hall.
SHARON KAY PENMAN
Time and Chance
In the darkness and the snow, the street is empty and it is just the night, the ice and me.
MIRIAM JOY
Crossroads Poetry
Snow affords us a very useful reflection; it reminds us of our weakness. What could all the industry and strength of men do, should they undertake to remove the ice and snow? And it is not without design that these images of the frailty of worldly things are presented to our view; they are intended to teach us the uncertainty of earthly things; and we may learn from them that our present pleasures are like snow, which dazzles the eye, but soon melts and disappears.
STURM
attributed, Day's Collacon
Snow is my first memory. And again and again, I tried to make paintings of the snow and never could. So everything comes. It takes sometimes a lifetime to get there.
FRANÇOISE GILOT
"Artist Françoise Gilot, on life with and after Picasso", CBS News, August 20, 2017
No Man's Land under snow is like the face of the moon, chaotic, crater-ridden, uninhabitable, awful, the abode of madness.
WILFRED OWEN
The Collected poems of Wilfred Owen
The snow was endless, a heavy blanket on the outdoors; it had a way about it. A beauty. But I knew that, like many things, beauty could be deceiving.
CAMBRIA HEBERT
