Frost Upon Their Graves

Abeyant winding way

Cascades sheltered in white

Lead them far astray

Where shrouded frail may hide

Pursued is ones prey

Onto trackless ground of frozen grey

Flight to river marmoreal

Where cold-blooded winds of north them flay

Streams blind and old

No sin or virtue here avails

Tede them nameless holds

Berths beneath thine waves

March onward unmarked trails

Horns underneath bay strident wails

Upon coiling spine

Shed ice-white blades of serpent scales

Frost upon their graves

Furrows fraught with dead

Thill waters to deprave

And slower runs the river red
