[In the Anglo-Saxon lyric style] The darkness of a winter, white and bitter, Suddenly turns to treasure precious; For in the wake of waning day-light I am reminded, remorseful truth, of life departing. A prayer is sung Of a loved-one’s body-draught; the bleakest sorrow. Time and fate, fellows of legacy, Become ice-clear. I see their meeting-point, In measure of days, drawing closer; And this winter solemn now seems frost-fleeting. Growing dearer are the days of chill now seemingly wielded of wealthiest gold.

For Linda
[In the Anglo-Saxon lyric style] The darkness of a winter, white and bitter, Suddenly turns to treasure precious; For in the wake of waning day-light I am reminded, remorseful truth, of life departing. A prayer is sung Of a loved-one’s body-draught; the bleakest sorrow. Time and fate, fellows of legacy, Become ice-clear. I see their meeting-point, In measure of days, drawing closer; And this winter solemn now seems frost-fleeting. Growing dearer are the days of chill now seemingly wielded of wealthiest gold.
