The First Snow Wove Her Shroud Lyrics


Stone cold soil

and dress of fallen leaves

the mire upon my head

Why should I weep for myself

I was all you ever hoped to be

Even now you are

in pure white shroud

like snow upon the elms

or a silver-lined cloud

Clouds lay their blessings just for me

The fairest dream I dreamt to see

bereft or left to be

There's no sorrow in me

(I see sorrow in thee)

Halls would echo in hollow notes

and the wind would rush through me

The walls would grow to Heaven's height

My knees bleed, yet stone won't give in

Dust is dust and flames live to perish

When morning brings no comfort night will linger on

And all hope is in vain

My atonement is you

Come to me through the walls of sleep

Oh forget me and be set free

Through your eyes I witnessed daylight

for those of mine you swore to dead of night

Clouds lay their blessings just for me

The fairest dream I dreamt to see

bereft or left to be

There's no sorrow in me

I see sorrow in thee

No tears please

And as the sun dies, draws away it's rays

Dispels the spark of hope within

By the light of day, she fades away

Forever she will set in peace with him
