Es ist ein Schnee gefallen by Robert Franz — Lyrics
1. Es ist ein Schnee gefallen
und ist doch noch nicht Zeit,
ich kann nicht weiter wallen,
der Weg ist mir verschneit.
2. Mein Haus hat keinen Giebel,
es ist mir worden alt,

About Es ist ein Schnee gefallen
Robert Franz's partsong, Es ist ein Schnee gefallen, paints a desolate winter scene. The text describes a traveler unable to continue his journey because the snow has blocked the path. His humble dwelling offers little comfort, with its broken latches and cold interior. The words plead for love's solace, asking to be embraced so the harshness of winter may pass. This SATB setting is available with both German and English lyrics, making its poignant message accessible to a wider audience. The emotional arc from hardship to a yearning for comfort and warmth resonates deeply within this secular composition.
