O Jezebel
         my mirrored child
     Your shadowed eyes
                    remember:
The summer's gone
       When days were wild
    This autumn chill
                       will break them

Bend down and rest
         your weary head
                 These days are cold,
     this autumn,
                    And dreams are dull,
Their meaning fled
          And comfort bring
                            no longer

You stand and wait
              For winter's chill
       Don't fear the storm
                            that threatens
   I'll meet you there
on frozen hill
                And glory there
         together

   My Jezebel,
            of gold and green
      Don't fear the cold
                     and shadow
the dark will pass
         to summer's gleam
  And we will love
             forever
