Ode to Winter Lyrics


Winter... your silent steps don't break

The fragile dream of nature

When you arrive to rule the earth

White mistress...

with your precious hands

The bad of fallen autumn leaves

Is covered with soft snow veil

Plains and mountains snow-white

Lakes and rivers clad in ice

Praise your beauty

And your majesty...

Winter, hail to thee!

Queen... fresh and cold your breath

When sounds of mournful lullabye

Fly out from your frozen lips

You reign... your face is so tranquil

When you secure serenity

Of sleeping lands in your domain

Wintry winds among the trees

Dancing wolves in midnight hour

Chant the occult song

About your grandeur

And your power...

Your beauty... simple in it's coldness

It is voluptuous and so stern

Like frostworks early in the morning

Your eyes...

they are like frozen northern lakes

Inside them blue infinity

Of crystal clear radiant sky

Sometimes you're wrathful...

everything is still

But then comes snowstorm

The mystery of furious dance

Sometimes you're sad... your tears are cold

They fall down by snowflakes

To cover and to warm

the dozing earth
