|
Night arrives again in the northern woods |
|
Cloaking all light under its dim hood |
|
All is silent except for the winds mellow croon |
|
Echoing in the midwinter night |
|
And when shadeof the swan reflects from ice |
|
You will know that someone has died |
|
And when the wind blows from the north you can hear the souls cry |
|
And in the moon's pale light |
|
Death took the form of an swan |
|
Up from the depths of |
|
Tuonela it rose to its wings |
|
Age old song of death it sings |
|
And when shade of the swan reflects from ice |
|
You will know that someone has died |
|
And when the wind blows from the north |
|
As she silently flies through the nightskies |
