Snow Fairy

Snow fairy awakens from her sleep 
In a garden frosted in silver 
By a black flowing river 

Hair of cerulean blue 
A gown of snow-white silk 
She flints on gossamer wings bathed in milk 

Perching on a petal beneath 
Crystal shards shimmering 
In the velvet gloaming 

Longing for a sweetheart 
Strong, valiant and true 
Who'll chase away her melancholy blues

Her song is rich in sad pathos 
With questions that are unpredictable 
And answers quite unbelievable 

She seeks the sacred sweet elixir 
She'll pass where crying is nevermore 
And sleep in the realms of rest forevermore
