Songtext von Winter Shades

Now winter nights enlarge The number of hours And clouds their storms discharge Upon the airy towers All do no all things well Some measures comely tread Some knotted riddles tell Some poems smoothly read I see winter shades Again I wait for you Fall the snow And cover me I feel the winter came To take my emptiness This time doth well dispense With lovers’ long discourse Much speech hath some defense Though beauty no remorse All do no all things well Some measures comely tread Some knotted riddles tell Some poems smoothly read I see winter shades Again I wait for you Fall the snow And cover me I feel the winter came To take my emptiness The summer has it’s joys, they are for us And winter cold is with delights Though love and all his pleasures are but toys They shorten lonely frosty nights I see winter shades Again I wait for you Fall the snow And cover me I feel the winter came To take my emptiness
