Ah faithful februare

Ah faithful februare
Hath thee found at last
Thy refreshment in
This flurry which hath
Taken from thee all worry

So soft sweet and tender did fall
The snow upon us all
Twas brilliant to behold

Whether young or old
Didst much care
But to descend here
Or there

And such beauty found
In every thing
All covered in white
Ah such a sight indeed

Thine eye doth feed
On the gracious display
Somehow hath stolen us away
With its refreshing chill
Our hearts within us thrill
Within this wintered wonder

Pure and white it covers
Everything in sight
As if what might die or decay
Should shine once more
Upon its final day

So as all lights go out
So too may sprout
From beneath the ground
The coming spring

For with it all things new
To cherish and to do
Reborn anew
Tis glorious to be

To wash away the darkness
And despair
And dwell here
Where all is growing
And beginning to be

Such mystery
Such wonder to behold
So glorious it is

Once more
Life is beginning anew
And with it
A chance once more
To start fresh
And adore

What was forgot
Is again remembered
All is possible

And so here to begin
To breathe out
And breathe in
To let out
And let in
Again
