Es ist ein Schnee gefallen by Max Zenger — Lyrics
1. Es ist ein Schnee gefallen,
und ist noch nicht die Zeit,
zur schönsten Maid von allen
ist mir der Weg verschneit.
2. Mein Haus geht mir zu Ende,
es ist mir worden alt,

About Es ist ein Schnee gefallen
Max Zenger's German secular partsong Es ist ein Schnee gefallen is suitable for SATB and TTBB choirs. The text paints a vivid picture of a lover struggling through a snow-covered landscape to reach their beloved. The opening lines describe the unexpected snowfall blocking the path, highlighting the difficulty of the journey. The subsequent verses depict a humble, aging home with wind whistling through its walls, emphasizing the lover's plight and the cold, solitary conditions. The plea in the final verse, asking the beloved to take pity and offer comfort, brings the song to a touching conclusion, suggesting that love's embrace can overcome even the harshest winter.
