Fear, a throbbing fear, as fiercely white<\/strong>
\n as the forest snow I roam while all sleep, <\/strong>
\n And over my tracking boots there was moonlight<\/strong>
\n Over my drunken steps, only her orbit<\/strong><\/p>\n

As white as anguished snow and the forked path <\/strong>
\n to the castle where my fate had been decreed:<\/strong>
\n “You will bring me her heart”<\/strong>
\n And looked at the moving distaff turn<\/strong>
\n –her face I couldn’t\u00a0 see, perhaps abominable–<\/strong>
\n And over my tracking boots there was moonlight<\/strong>
\n Over my drunken steps, only her orbit<\/strong><\/p>\n

How pale the child was, her heart in throbbing fear<\/strong>
\n As Snow melted away for wolves and dens,<\/strong>
\n The forest snow I roam while all sleep,<\/strong>
\n And over my defeat now only moonlight<\/strong>
\n And over my drunken steps, only her orbit<\/strong><\/p>\n
