What words would Winter whisper, When the last warm rays Of sweet Summer sister Have shone beyond forgone horizons? His hands clasp blistered, Embraced by the rhythm of fate. Love conquers all but his envy is great,
And it grows,
And it blows,
And the Winds are rising,
Giving voice to once silent trees. Through the maelstrom Winter watches. A feeble man on bended knees Cradles the embers of fire. Winter froze with desire While stunned by despair, That even man could find warmth While his sky lay frozen and bare.
