Now Is the Winter of Our Discontent

Now is the winter of our discontent, For our sins, we shall repent. Not a soul can escape this torment, Slowly turning us all senescent. The cold wind in the east thus blows, Falling are the petals of that frosty rose. Our hearts have come to froze, As we try to cast our minds to our woes. Harm is the reminiscence of summer, When we doth celebrate midsommar. Oh the sun! What has now become of her, Hiding in shadows, no radiance from her. The hail hath come to end one and all, The white rain on the earth doth fall. How does one remove this hovering pall? When the limited will cause them to brawl. Sinking below this sheet of white, Numbing our body, this frostbite. Will we ever again see a twilight, Or will this just be an endless night?
