Timber Koleden

So long this road I have walked;
With so many strangers I have talked.
So many mountains I have climbed;
And yet one desire lingers in my mind.
...

Lay down your little weary head,
Be still now, let me tuck you into bed.
Close your eyes and hug your little ted,
Close your eyes now and let me kiss your little head.
...

May you find the light,
And see your dreams all come true.
May you love what is right,
And walk in wisdom and candor pure.
...

The earth that is scorched with seed inside
Will bloom again in the spring.
The river that is frozen deep under ice
Will one day again forth spring.
...

Through dust and ashes
Snow and coldest rains
We have tarried
Yet my love for you remains.
...

We have come all this weary way;
I could not have made it alone.
But you were by my side ev'ry day:
I love you more than you than you can know.
...

How am I to describe that feeling,
That a child has laughingly reeling?
Like tweeting birds on a lovely summer day?
Or like sleek otters splashing at play.
...

I slept and dreamed a dream tonight,
and in my dream I was walking, walking in the sunlight.
I looked an I saw you sitting beside the stream;
you were bright, like gleaming light, like a sunlight beam;
...

Darkness seems to endlessly surround,
A night that never ends.
There is light to be found,
When kindness shines again.
...

May the Angels watch over you,
let them guard you and keep you.
May they be for you a guiding light,
may they watch over you tonight.
...

In youthful springs, my laughter bloomed in light,
Beneath the budding trees I forged my dreams,
But now with autumn's chill, I face the night,
As tender hope dissolves in silent streams.
...

The frosted earth, a slumber deep,
Now wakes to whispers, soft and steep.
A gentle rain, a cleansing tear,
Dispels the winter's chilling fear.
...

My love has gone across the sea
To find a country far and fair
He sailed into the gilded west'
And lo, my heart will never rest
...

Night is now falling;
This day is swiftly ending.
The door is open wide;
Snow is falling outside.
...

When we were young this life was so simple;
We needed only obey and be thankful.
We had chores around our little farm;
But life was happy when the weather was warm.
...

Light is a lantern steadily burning in the heart;
Something that is lit by God in us from the start.
It is something that shines forth from the sacred embers
Of love, kindness, goodness, patience, gentleness, and measure.
...

Down the frosty streets I pass tonight,
past the windows, darkened displays.
The lamps gild the frosty sheen with their light,
I look for things for you, dear fiancé.
...

What is love, only a feeling?
Love must be unbreakable,
Like a sacred vow binding.
...

Inside my head is a world all my own
My thoughts are in the safest vault; never known.
I may speak and say all I please but none
Will ever conceive of my true intent, not one.
...

In shadows deep, where whispers cling,
A tale of love and loss takes wing,
Severus Snape, with heart concealed,
A legacy of pain revealed.
...
