Abandoned by the cold hands of love
Feel the ice flowing into my heart
Dearest winter why thou do you cull
My sunshine for your soul

Tis it not enough the trees lay bare
And the ground becomes barren
Songs of the winter thrush do pierce
The stillness of your
Chilling breath

I see you cry icicles
As lonely your heart doth bare
Just let me hold you close
To dream of summer fair

For now my winter
I must hide
Beneath skins of great brown bears
Until you fall in love with me
Your ice I shall replace with warmth
And love you
With heartfelt care
