The snow drifts into hills of white.

The imprints of his lonely plight
Lie deep beneath the fallen snow,
Lost to all but those who know
The truths that spurred this venture foth
From warmer pasts to its present course,
The words, the deeds, the thoughts untold-
the love that lost to a heart too bold.
Reflecting hues of the starless night,
The snow drifts into hills of white.
