Evil Time

Now we are silent
And sing no songs any more,
Our pace goes heavy;
This is the night, that was bound to come.

Give me your hand,
Perhaps we have a long way to go.
It's snowing, it's snowing.
Winter is a hard thing in a strange country.

Where is the time
When a light, a hearth burned for us?
Give me your hand!
pERHAPS WE STILL HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO.

interesting, yet the end capitalisation (assuming its intentionality) seems quite overtly forceful in comparison to the 'quiet winter' imagery, like some form of malevolent ('evil') force has appeared to conclude what was otherwise a sedate poem?
