Winter
Winter
Has a sound
Of a shrine and a temple
Of a swelling river
Of white waves
Of blocks of clouds
Hurrying to start
Everything
Anew
Winter
Has a sound of one thousand strengths
Of hailstones and rain
Of a stormy wave
Of cruel nature
Of the fear of cold
Of man
And terror
Winter
Has a sound
Of a sleepy birth
Of tranquillity and silence
Of refuge in the earth
Wet and warm
Anxiety
Excitement
