from Volkslieder (Folksongs) and by Victor C. Johnson (b. 1978)
In Winter
Language: English
Available translation(s): DUT
In winter, as the sun fades away, and the sky turns from gold into gray, the warmth of autumn has gone away as we greet the new winter day. In winter, as the moon shines so bright and the stars cast a silvery light, the ground lies hushed beneath a shroud of white, on this calm and still winter night Still, still, still, you can hear the falling snow. For all is hushed, the world is sleeping, as the stars their watch are keeping. Still, still, still, you can hear the falling snow. In winter, as the moon shines so bright and the stars cast a silvery light, the ground lies hushed beneath a shroud of white, on this calm and still winter night, this winter night. In winter.
