“White Winter Hymnal”

I was following the
I was following the
I was following the
I was following the
I was following the pack
All swallowed in their coats
With scarves of red tied ‘round their throats
To keep their little heads
From fallin’ in the snow
And I turned 'round and there you go
And, Michael, you would fall
And turn the white snow red as strawberries
In the summertime

When Fleet Foxes said they didn’t intend “White Winter Hymnal” to have much meaning, they must have meant only to highlight the song’s lush melody. But packing exposition, climax, and denouement into just eight lines, the song is a beautiful, spare piece of poetry that lets listeners imagine their own pages in between.
