Sleep the flowers of the vale underneath the snow
Turned to ice with winter's grasp, water's playful flow
A sparrow, a tiny one, cold north wants you undone
Turned to ice with winter's grasp, water's playful flow
At the yard of a poor man's house, a girl kind and dear:
A seed for you my tiny one, a seed for you right here!
Oh, you poor homeless thing, Christmas can't make you sing
Seed for you my tiny one, seed for you right here!
Heart and wing afluttering, the girl and the bird
Featherlight touch on her palm and a voice she's heard:
Blessings to you, my dear! Your kindness brought me here
Featherlight touch on her palm and a voice she's heard
I have lived your life, oh child, and to you I tell
That I am your brother's ghost, and I knew you well
This seed grown by the sun, a kindness to a tiny one
Gift for your dead brother's ghost
Still he knows you well
This seed grown by the sun, a kindness to a tiny one
Gift for your dead brother's ghost
Still he knows you well
