The Deepening Snow - Burl Ives (伯尔·艾夫斯)

It's snowing out there in

The gloaming

I've sat here and watched

It all night

The kids will be thrilled

When they awaken

And look at the fields

Deep and white

But the snow makes me

Think of my darling

For he hated the snow and the cold

Now he lies in a grave

Back in Knoxville

With a headstone that's

Just one year old

Won't you please make the winter

Go quick Lord so the flowers

Around him can grow

For I can't stand the thought of

My darling lying there

In the deepening snow

Little Jimmy climbs up on my knee

Now says mommie

What causes the snow

And I tell the wonderful father

Who cares for us all here below

Then I hold him so close and

I kiss him and he kissing

Back doesn't know

That my kiss is meant for her mother

Lying there in the deepening snow

Won't you please make the winter

Go quick Lord so the flowers

Around him can grow

For I can't stand the thought

Of my darling lying there

In the deepening snow
