An early shadow fills the void And winds spread out their lonely call Where many nights I once enjoyed And rain foretells an early fall. You were with me full long ago; We walked across a bed of leaves And tried to catch the flakes of snow Whose fall bewilders and deceives. Since then, much time has come and passed And only memories remain, But I still wonder if I’d last Outside their rich and vast domain.
