snow cloaks in silent white the gloom
winter’s own folly trimmed in flakes
yielding icicles, frozen lakes
silk veil, cast over Jaro’s womb

while from a heart of hope borrow
every wish and dream one can find
that worries and cares of the mind
thaw, birthing a new tomorrow

then numb the pain of sorrow’s friend
in melting ice and uttered spell
so misery that grow and dwell
in sadness’ lair, completely end
