| The fading forests grow | B |
| The wind dies out along the height | A |
| And denser still the snow | B |
| A gathering weight on roof and tree | C |
| Falls down scarce audibly | C |

| The road before me smooths and fills | D |
| Apace and all about | E |
| The fences dwindle and the hills | D |
| Are blotted slowly out | E |

| Into the dim white sky | F |

| The meadows and far sheeted streams | G |
| Lie still without a sound | H |

| In wood and water earth and air | I |
| A silence everywhere | I |
| - | |
| Save when at lonely intervals | J |
| Some farmer's sleigh urged on | K |
| With rustling runners and sharp bells | L |
| Swings by me and is gone | M |
| Or from the empty waste I hear | N |
| A sound remote and clear | O |
| - | |
| The barking of a dog or call | C |
| To cattle sharply pealed | H |
| Borne echoing from some wayside stall | C |
| Or barnyard far a field | H |
| Then all is silent and the snow | B |
| Falls settling soft and slow | B |
| - | |
| The evening deepens and the gray | P |
| Folds closer earth and sky | F |
| The world seems shrouded far away | P |
| Its noises sleep and I | F |
| As secret as yon buried stream | Q |
| Plod dumbly on and dream | Q |
