Softly
Come softly now to the meadow
Come, in all your downy glory
Fragile and beautiful,
Gleaming eyes of Boreas watch as you dance
Round ‘n round you go
Radiant, ravishing, and refined
Gloriously white
So cold, so serene, so pure
Everything you touch is your partner in dance
And every partner
Is rewarded with a sweet kiss
A freezing kiss
Hades is your brother donned in black as you dance in white
Trailing at your gleaming white cloak hem
Snatching greedily at your unwary white riddled partners
As you spin in a frenzy
Faster ‘n faster you spin
Blurred in the purest fashion
Looking as if a pure white silk
You fall to cover the ground in a deadly embrace
And lay as a sinister Sleeping Beauty
Come softly now to the meadow
The old Man Winter bids you welcome
He bids you welcome, Snow.
