The Wilderness Mistress

Winter has tucked in the village And blankets the stables Young hearts warm up in the tavern There's food on the tables He and his Wilderness Mistress Are dancing like mist inside a waterfall Glowing with pride in the darkness Kiss in the mist inside a waterfall But rumors, like wind-driven snowflakes Are spreading and falling Starlight on frosty lakes shining So crisp and enthralling He and his wilderness mistress Are fleeing like mist into a waterfall Glowing with pride in the darkness Kiss in the mist inside a waterfall A wagon rolls into the moonlight And snowdrifts along a winding road stand tall Hoofbeats still clatter around the hills Carefree and wistful as a waterfall Night snow has left a new blanket Erasing their traces Bravely they wander together With spring in their faces He and his wilderness mistress Are dancing like mist inside a waterfall Glowing with pride in the darkness Kiss in the mist inside a waterfall
