The Winter King













The Winter King

Snowflakes falling, the icy eventide
By fireside warmth, snuggle and abide
Away from cold winds blowing, flee
The crackling log, comfort for me

Dark clouds ebb out life's little day
Sleet and slow, the landscapes pass away
In the morning, white the fields I see
The Winter King arrives to abide with me

A dark charm of ice from his hand to bless
Our Wintertide, the roofs and fields caress
With drifting snow, that all around I see
Winter now arrived to abide with me

Sleep takes me, warm bed, my closing eyes
Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies
A dawn of sunshine, and melting snowfalls flee
Praise that now a thaw will abide with me
