You fear the winter?
Everyone does.

Like leaves ahead of the storm,
I tumble from the highest boughs;
Missing all the handholds
slipping, sliding to the ground

Understand this, child:
Of all I survey
your loves, your fears,
keep me under your sway.

Never have I seen the sky
all clouded, gray, but can I know?
How could I have been so conceited?
Thunder, now; it starts to snow
Even leaves, so proud and strong
Tumble down, devoid of color
Once splendid,
Now drab and dolor
