Frozen streams and vapours gray,
cold and waste the landscape lay...
Then a hale of wind. 

Hither-Whirling, Thither-Swilrling,
Spinn the fog and spinn the mist...
Still we walked on through woods and wintry gray,
home through woods where winter lay – Cold and dark... 

(Waiting for a change in the weather.
Waiting for a shift in the air.
Could we get there together, ever?
Waiting for our late, late return) 

Through the woods. Home through the woods where winter lay...
