In The Winter

In the spring
Love notes fling
Fall in love with
Half the world

And in winter
Death's the splinter
At the center
Of the world

And in summer
With no number
'Beautiful'
Is the word
In the cold dark, days of winter
Icy death is all that's heard

In the autumn
You start to worry
Know that soon
The worlds will spin

And in the winter
You hear the distant
The distant ringing
Of the bells

In the winter
Hear the ringing
The distant ringing
Of the bells
