Last Dance of the Seasons

So now November kisses him goodbye
With a touch whose love cannot endure
And Winter never knows the reason why

She hangs her head to golden tear-drops cry
On ground his sorrow washes white with hoar
So now November kisses him goodbye

Eternal promised love a weeping lie
No time-bound thing can last forevermore
And Winter never knows the reason why

He calls down all his armies from the sky
In wrath, his heart is brimming full of war
So now November kisses him goodbye

She shudders with a wail and strives to fly
The arms and fingers which she did adore
And Winter never knows the reason why

These lovers always parting with a sigh
As they first met, but seemingly before
And Winter never knows the reason why

She never lingers hence for any ply
Her numb, forsaken sweetheart can implore
But now November kisses him goodbye
And Winter never knows the reason why
