BEYOND THE SNOW-CAPPED MOUNTAINS

 

Beyond the snow-capped mountains

A brand new dawn breaks

Night moved onward into light

Across the land and the lakes

LET THE WIND HOWL

 

Let the wind howl

Let the tempest blow

Bring forth the rain

Bring forth the snow

Then let the frost bite

Let the ice crack

Then we can get

The winter sun back

THE PEACEFUL VILLAGE

 

The peaceful village

In the frozen valley

Lay quietly beneath

Its winter cloak

THE WINTER LAND LIES

 

The winter land lies

In suspended animation

Part of life’s eternal cycle

And with it, paused

Is its Infinite variety

But as the earth turns

Mother natures seed waits

Beneath the February snows

WINTER MAIDEN

 

Winter maiden

Draped afresh

In a pure white

Unsullied cloak

Hugging her contours

Uncorrupted

In its perfect purity

Her Pristine draperies

Like crisp white linen

Lying undisturbed

Nature’s maiden

In her winter coat

THE WONDROUS BEAUTY

 

The wondrous beauty

Of your pale white skin,

That seductive landscape

Pure as exotic silk

Fresh as winter snow

And as cold as your heart

MOONLIGHT GLINTS

 

Moonlight glints

On the silent vales

Dressed crisply

In winters cloak

Lying like rippled silk

On the frozen land
