Le Train d'hiver

The WGHS women's choir of 2007-2008 sings Le Train d'hiver at the 2008 spring concert. No video, just a picture.

The billowing train whistles through winter
At a furious rhythm, burning coal
Smoke stacked, wagons rocking
As an iron iceberg, it plunges through the cold.

Towing this chasing load
The locomotive, battling, presses on
Tearing straight ahead on snowy tracks
Iron furies buried beneath ice.

And from afar echoes a muffled roar
On these endless tracks, in this frozen landscape
And the chill of the wind.

As it slices the endless spread
The convoy contrasts with the white countryside
Into the lost season.

We're from St. Louis, but this song was performed at the Colorado Springs Heritage festival. However, this particular recording is from our school's spring concert.

And thanks!
