lyrics

Oh, this summer, I’m content to spend as winter
Long days creep in to prolong the longing
Night’s too short to allow me to dream
Vicious cold frowns at me every morning
Sun wakes me with its freezing beam

And no birds sing their tunes
Just the sound of chilling air
And the rose that should bloom
Withers down with despair
And the veil upon this land
Spreading wide its bitter rue
But a snowflake on my hand
Cannot turn to lively dew

And the sun shines still
But its warmth misses me
So benign as the smile
I adored upon thee
Not the myriad of stars
Not the moon’s lucid light
Can bring back her sheen
To brighten my night

Oh, this summer, I’m content to spend as winter
Shivering frost where the lake should be
The rimy trail leads to scurry of grieving
Blizzard too strong for my heart to see
Desolating the core of my being

And no cricket in the grass
Will sing me its soothing poem
For his home is frozen ice
Sinking deep in white foam
And I sink in snow as well
It seems as without an end
Oh not even the summer
Can melt my bereavement

And in clouds up high
I can see your cheek
But the clouds turn grim
And send down their icy shriek
In the well I find
Your reflection at last
But the water turns to soil
And it traps you in my past

No spring has ever been so warm
No summer will ever be as cold
