Lady Mirth

[moontje365]

a youthfull take
some steps marked the snow
and while the mother russia scold
the wind it blows
for heavens sake

she'd dance along her lines
and once in while cross her mind
her father to surprise
her mother would get by

when i see the bird up high
and the mountain's cloudy sky
how far i dream, and yet so shy
the blush on her face
the twinkle at her eye

mother russia, she came along
to carry her song
inside her heart
and soon her life to drift apart

a child so sweet, and yet so tender
a child so meak, oh russian splender
tell me not, scold me so
for asya, she would know

her youthfull take
some steps marked the snow
and while the mother russia in cold
her breath'd warm
her every heartbeat'd see
to shine forth
and take away your
misery
