On New Year's morn - yesterday so far away now in the dawn. Up soared the owl - a last bough waved to hail a new day. Later snow buried the nightingale and my hopes. Death is a captive guarded by you and my love. In the light of morn I saw your body's shadow lying on my bed. He broke his silence to pieces to share it.
