Outside the wind is howling death A screaming gale of endless breath Over the hill she comes and goes What she is, but few may know Inside her she is not so mean As her outside makes her seem Her soul is quite a peaceful one Heard by few and friends of none Inside I sleep in gentle peace With dreams of gold that never cease What I am, but few may know For I only give what I want to show Inside I am a screaming gale A howling death of rain and hail My soul is wrought with pain and fear That none will know and few will hear

The Monstrous & the Gentle
Outside the wind is howling death A screaming gale of endless breath Over the hill she comes and goes What she is, but few may know Inside her she is not so mean As her outside makes her seem Her soul is quite a peaceful one Heard by few and friends of none Inside I sleep in gentle peace With dreams of gold that never cease What I am, but few may know For I only give what I want to show Inside I am a screaming gale A howling death of rain and hail My soul is wrought with pain and fear That none will know and few will hear
It makes me wonder: who is the monstrous and who is the gentle?
