Winter boy

Winter boy
Born in a snowy day
Came to me in a rainy afternoon
And lived in summer-long
Love I trusted far too well
Gone away in winters spell
Had broke my heart
And left me all alone
And looking for a home
To rest my weary heart
For just a while
And I found that in the smile
Of a boy
A little boy with midnight in his hair
And promise in his eyes
Of days and nights there yet to be
Days and nights he'd clinged to me
For I am winters lady
And he is winters child
Though there be summers here
And the smell of pine comes
Crying to my heart
Still my joy and my securityWill I decide the boy
Of blessed purity
The little boy with midnight
In his hair
And diamonds in his eyes
Diamonds made of trust and love for me
And gleaming at me all the afternoon
