Freezing winters coming
Are made of stillborn dew
And wind that's made of moonlight
Will blow in snowflakes new

Songs all fade in winter
Are buried under snows
Yet fading laughter carries
On breeze that never slows

Autumn's birds are trembling
Their wings heard in the trees
And distant thunder's rumbling
A warning in the breeze

All is known of winter
The cycle of each year
Yet every circle echoes
With messages of fear

Autumn's taking beauty
And crushing with its hand
The hopes like shattered branches
And mixing them with sand

Snow on sand in winter
Is mixed with older ages
And thoughts of past and future
Will turn our dream-book's pages

Ride on, through autumn night
To winter, keeping time in sight
Moving with its winds tear-bright
The crying eyes of dark to light
