"Despair."
Oh the snows last so long.
And old man is such a brute.
And oh the girl is snatched by death
so fast you would not believe it.
And oh I wanted to be tall.
And oh the unendurable cold.
Oh that my mother was put away.
The long, the long trials.
And the love I had for one, it all went to pieces
that girl who was murdered.
And oh that other my friend who set herself afire for nothing.
And oh I hope to be well.
I wanted to be serene.
Oh the snows last so long.
