Winter grips the frozen land
Alone dwell man and woman
In vain his wife did pray him
from the hunt at home to stay
'Twas then she got the necklace,
'twas then the stranger came
"You are the one, you are my soul
You are my love, forevermore
The endless sky, our home shall make
When darkness falls, we shall awake"
Calling for her to go with him
Afraid, she chooses to stay within
At length the stranger left her,
soon the husband did return
'Twas then he smashed the necklace,
'twas then his anger burned
"Out into the darkness fled,
sylvan walls and snow-made bed,
By the moon I still can see
him standing there, he calls to me
Up into the starry sky,
son of Moon and new-found bride
Forever shall we rule the eve,
as shadow-wife and son of dreams"
Still, winter grips the frozen wood
There still he dwells, alone he broods
In sorrow turned to wolfen form
And still to moon for lost bride calls
