Wander, pace this path again
Feet still, I watch the frost flakes fly
These first frost flakes that herald more–
An angry, biting army more.
Hoary, this cold mob will blind
And I will continue to wend
The journey back to homeland shore–
The fair forsaken homeland shore.
Stumble, forests trap and tear
Tis not the wounds that slow my task
But legs so swift in coward’s flight–
So weak to save me from the night.
Breathe, and know that home is nigh
Yet know, my guilt the door hath barred.
All treasures scorned in my disdain–
Shall not be mine to hold again.
Blue, the blizzard leads me on.
Dark red, the sky a canopy.
And snow my mark on earth erase–
My defiled steps shall all erase.
