Song of the North Wind

Who do you mourn for, North Wind?
Why do you shed your tears?
You soak us with your frozen breath,
And chill us through with fear.

Did someone break your heart, North Wind?
Has someone crushed your soul?
Did someone change you from fair maid
To broken, raging troll?

Why do you wail so, North Wind?
Why do you cry so fierce?
Are you weeping for the time
When your young heart was pierced?

Did someone hurt you, North Wind?
Has someone brought you pain?
Did someone flog and lash you,
And revel in your shame?

Why do you scream so, North Wind?
Why do you shriek in rage?
Do you long for an escape—
A way out from your cage?

Did someone break you, North Wind?
Is no one your friend?
Did someone relish your sad cries
And bring you to this end?
