Snow's True Maiden

Snow’s True Maiden
By Henry Penton

 

As Malin welcomes the heat, our world hath lost
Her powdered fields, chill, and frost
And what beauty found in snow’s gleam,
Now flows throughout watery streams.
As the sun doth thaw our cold earth.
Love hath found its blessed birth.
Swallows wake in greening trees
My air is filled with hums and bees.

 

Yet,
Much as love flourishes so too doth it bring
An end, fading as a youthful spring.
Such beautiful colors as it displays,
Fall and her Amber Cold is arrayed.
Heat and passion wane, my love doth lour.
Dwindling love much as the sun’s power
To soften the ice which has a hold
On my frozen heart, in the Deep Cold.

 

When true love hath gone awry,
With jealousy, vanity, a few white lies,
They forsake the vows we had made
Under that oak, in the cooler shade.

 

So every night as I sleep
These memories I am to keep,
And never can it be forgotten
How our spring has faded into autumn.
Still, In her eyes I see she has awaken
The Grand Harvest, yet in her heart the Snow’s Maiden.
