In early twilight hours
When the winter horizon glows in white
It seems as if the world is truly grande,
And the mountains echo across the sky.
Starlight ripples in the last moments of its long voyage.
Bent by unknowable tides, the night sparkles,
And a tiny world raises a powerful voice
To sing with its universe.
Wind, stars and the galaxies beyond,
Give of yourselves,
And pour down your light
Upon these wintering lands!
The chorus surrounds - deafens.
From the farthest reaches of space
To the deepest depths of time
All becomes crystallized from the frozen land to shimmering stars,
As the heavens and Earth sing together.
Then come clouds.
All becomes dark,
All becomes silent.
