| Its unending blanketing swirl | B |
| Yet my mind's eye was giving shape | C |

| That in the white drifts each fleck | E |
| Is known weighed counted | F |
| - | |
| Oh you spinning dancing flakes | G |
| Your tiny souls and personalities | H |
| Withstand gravity weightlessness wind | I |
| In your coming and going | J |
| I see your destinies glide down | K |
| Which you begin fulfill begin | L |

| This one falls soft and like wool | M |
| The next is crystal and tenacious | N |
| The third's a clenched fist of struggle | O |
| Yet their white realm disperses by morning | J |
| Thus one doesn't die from the rest | P |
| And they dissolve into the purest drop shapes | Q |

| Oh the world's slow falling snow | A |
| That race's dense blanketing swirl | B |
| It perishes and not one fate melts alone | R |
| We melt but we are left behind | I |
| When death the way spring wind thaws overtakes | G |
| Us drops and comes together home in the womb | S |
