When winter came this year she found me well prepared for her 

The flame well fed with pine, shuttered windows oakwood doors 

From the low dales come the fiddler, gave his tunes their flight 

Don't know her name or the dance that became her so well 

From topmost limb of night's dark tree 

Tonight my lantern light floats free 

The ladies danced so well, the ladies danced so light 

But it was not mortal step drew me from my guests to meet the night 

Snow lies deep with friends unseen 

I will light my eyes to Venus green 

Holding my life with a hope 

When the midnight skies rise, 

She flies---
