Winter solstice wonder, this darkest night
Put to rest long freezes, short days, and death
Time to welcome back some warmth, life, and light
Winter solstice wonder, this darkest night
Urge Sol, travel back to our world of white
Bring warmth to digits, take frost from our breath
Winter solstice wonder, this darkest night
Put to rest long freezes, short days, and death
