The pale winter maid Was crying all the night Plaiting snowy laces in my lips. My eyes are frozen lakes My hair is forest paths Crowned with icy wreath. For I passed you'll cry for me You think I'm dead but I am not You tame my heart, you know it now I'm for you in the morning dawn Very soon you'll leave your grief Although now you won't believe. What I was before is not what I am now Let the fire set my spirit free. My name was sang by the wind but unheard it was gone. I am near but you don't see. For I passed you'll cry for me You think I'm dead but I am not You tame my heart, my thread is cut I'm for you in the morning dawn Very soon you'll leave your grief.
