The sky is on fire this winter's night
to warm a trembling land
frosty shadows treading light
their misty breath rising high and
white over lonely fields

The moon shines a tender light
for a hungry fox to find his prey
the stars paint pictures on the sky
to brighten children's dreams and lay
a diamond carpet at their heels

Somewhere two lovers embrace
a ewe is feeding her lamb
the hare escaped without a trace
the fox keeps warm deep in his den
darkness covers his sleepless rest

No sound disturbs this night so still
our dreams of the summer sun
in a house on the lazy hill
I am waiting for you to come
and a freezing bird is stirring in its nest

Sybille (Sydney)Krivenko 2006
