In the sun’s last radiant flickering glimmer
Upon all the parched gardens and grass
Shivery shadows elongate and shimmer
where they await for the winter to pass.

Into the meadows they stealthily sweep.
Then perish into the once nectarous night
Awaiting snowflakes the snow clouds weep.
The shivery shadows succumb from no light

Then Boreal breeze now begins the freeze.
In the gentian garden of the misty Eidolon
Vernal rays illuminate melodic memories
Entombing a love forever frozen in song.

In the sun’s last radiant flickering glimmer
Upon all the parched gardens and grass
Shivery shadows elongate and shimmer
where they await for the winter to pass.
