Icebound streams and vapours grey

Frozen streams and vapours gray,
Cold and waste the landscape lay...
Then a hale of wind

Hither - whirling, thither - swirling,
Spinn the fog and spinn the mist...
Still we walked on through woods and wintry gray,
Home through woods where winter lay - cold and dark...
(waiting for a change in the weather
Waiting for a shift in the air
Could we get there together, ever?
Waiting for our late, late return)

Through the woods, home through the woods where winter lay...
