high above the dreams of men
softly, now the snow sets in
ridged with diamonds light as light
sheer music on a staff of white
who could will your deep descent
hush, in you, the world's lament
keep the secrets of all years
making them just disappear
so clairvoyant, angels' peer...
leaving quiet in your wake
every imprint we could make
in your fortitude erased
filling all the earth and Space
filling all the worlds tonight
blotting out a world of strife
high above the dreams of men
softly now, the snow begins.
