And autumn bells doth toll,
Beware the bitter winds that bring,
The winter of the soul.
It comes when battles undertook,
Are lost, thus fought in vain,
It comes when illness strikes us down,
Or freezes us with pain.
It comes when warmth is unreturned,
When fires of faith burn low,
It blows compassion from the heart,
And fills the void with snow.
From under doors and through the cracks,
It creeps with earthly cares,
Transforming lips to frozen smiles,
And eyes to icy stares.
It drives the fisherman ashore,
And numbs the workman's hands,
It halts the warrior in his tracks,
And chills his noble plans.
No fruit of spirit can survive,
The grip of winter's frost,
And all the good that might have been,
Will be forever lost.
So light the bonfires of our faith,
When autumn bells doth toll,
And pray to God that you'll escape,
The winter of the soul.
