A Plea

When Summer in the valley leaves
And Winter blows with Autumn breeze
Find me in the woods deep
I linger, not for long
In secrets dark my soul will sleep
I sing the mountain song

I feel the softness of her hair
Her breath, so cool, so fair
I hear the echo of her voice
I long for her peace
I have no choice
The silence will not cease

In the dark, deep woods I sleep
My own secrets that I keep
I cannot right my many wrongs
No song in my heart is clear
Specters surround me in throngs
I die hand in hand with fear.
