A crystal forest (Macleod, set by F. Hart) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


The air is blue and keen and cold,
    With snow the roads and fields are white
    But here the forest's clothed with light
And in a shining sheath enrolled.
    Each branch, each twig, each blade of grass,
    Seems clad miraculously with glass:
Above the ice-bound streamlet bends
Each frozen fern with crystal ends.
