A red finger dips into your forehead
Blue flakes sink into the bare room,
These are the dead mirrors of lovers.”

While grief's first flakes fall silent on the head!”

“Here today we huddle tight
As the darkest heathens might
The snow falls chilly on our skin
The snow is forcing its way in.
Hush, snow, come in with us to dwell:
We were thrown out by Heaven as well.”
