Hello traveller, how far you've come, how welcome you are. Rest now... Warm yourself, you have a long way yet to go. There was a time when I, like you, was a traveller. I sought others of my kind, just as you sought me. Did you find any others? No? Well, all the same, I am delighted to make your aquaintance. I've... missed speaking. You've heard the villagers speak OF me, But it has been a long time since any of them came to speak with me. I still sing to them in Winter, did they tell you that? I sing to remind them that all is not cold and dark. That fair spring will never fail... to paint the white fields green again.
