WInter heart for the frosted leaves
For the icicles suspended from the eaves
Bitter soul for the frozen sparrow
Falling lifeless devoid of sorrow

Icy blast of the north winds breath
Calls those who wander astray to death
Bleak touch of the creeping frost
That claims the young the old and lost

Mournful wail of the wolf packs howl
For the silver shadows on the prowl
Silently flitting through bare trees
Bring down their prey with callous ease

Shattered slopes of mountainsides
Hide crevasses that claim the lives
Of those that walk adventures path
And dare the mountains ancient wrath

Biting cold and driving snow
The aurora's silent ethereal glow
All living things contest the odds
In defiance of the winter gods
