Where the Snow Lay

When Autumn became a Winters' day The snow flake falling That Winter Queen lay........... She heard the Heartstone calling Her sleigh, gold and light The reindeer, sure footed too They carried her on the frosty night The Whispering Trees changing hue The fresh fallen snow, covered the green so The chuckle of Winter Elves their feet, leaving tracks below Tiny glowing lights The Whispering Trees, guided the Queen Where the snow lay............ To the Castle gate, upon her sleigh The quiet of Winter......... The fireside glow The Castle ............. Covered in snow The only sound.......... A hoot of owl......... To be found The berries,so red............. On the holly bushes, by the Great Hall Dusted with snow........... Just like in winters from long ago The cold night........ Beginning to shorten The snow disappearing......... Early light Time to go The Winter Queen saw.......... How the frost began to thaw......... The ending of snow The last visit to the Great Hall......... Marvelling at the Tapestries glowing...... What they can say...... The Heartstone ,on the wall........ The hitched up sleigh For Spring is coming soon....... The dipping down........ Of a wintry moon The last frost afternoon Winters' crown
