Winter Love

Winter Love

                                                  Speedily over the moonlight snows
                                                 I go to my lady’s own home:
                                                 Hasty my sleigh as lightening goes,
                                                 It shall not stop until morning.

                                                Bright my steed, the morning star
                                              Illuminates us from yonder pretty sky,
                                              To bring us together, brighter distant,
                                               Morning shall bring my lady’s eyes.

                                              Lovers, tranquil in sunny rooms
                                           Resting away their thoughts of time, 
                                          Not knowing a bit the delight that’s ours 
                                          In this snowy climate.

                                            Just as far off star which shimmers livelier
                                          From the nearby cold heavens, 
                                         Love smiles keener when crowned 
                                        With snows of shyness.

                                       Then, how bright my lady’s eyes gleam
                                      When she sees me happily approaching her,
                                     My coat very snug, and my feet so toasty warm,
                                    In my boots.
