When the snow covers the hill tops ,
and turns to ice the mountainous springs ,
when angels wings covet the skies ,
when all that can be seen are these things .
For only mountains split when God is near ,
only then I shall fall into you’re arms ,
because you are so dear .
So let snow covered mountains then tremble in you’re sight ,
above the earth ,
where perfumed goblets pour out amugst the stars ,
and crows that once gathered ,
are now scattered near and far .
Then statues of you and I will rise in marble and pure gold ,
their metals will glisten by the fountains of Bairn tthat told by scribes that have long since died .
Passed down though time bybirds with heads of maidens ,
for so black are their bodies ,
as we grow old ,
their faces gaunt and pale.
But our hearts grew strong in love and grace ,
even as our bodies grew weak and frail .
O then for it is it not you’re beauty I await .
Now the song birds have fallen silent to this fate ,
so then do the stars and the moon await ,
and shadows in the garden now appear ,
now you are near .
And so when morning comes I shall await for the sun ,
it’s bitter cold winds now that mornings begun ,
on clouds carried by Nymphs of the earth
when Gods holy messengers cover their wings ,
for even they can’t look on such beautiful things
For by this gate I wait for you’re return ,
where you’re Father lays buried beneath the wings of the sun .
Then I hear the pounding of hooves ,
far away in the distance .
O now you are near ,
as my horse gains pace o so many the year,
as our hearts beat faster for now they are one,
two lovers together ,
their joy hath begun .
together forever ,
now you are near ,
by the grave of you’re Father how bitter you’re tears .
