The distant snow on ancient path
my darling, daughter, dear
she climbed the distant hill
hair of Gold and skin of White
Blue eyes filled with broken tears
still an evil woman creep
upon the village laid in snow
a shadow fall across the yard
the sun is Black, the wind is cold
now she lay there in the snow
red with innocence, devil's bride
