This is "Winter Pastoral" as it was originally intended...
The snow blankets the ground
Deceiving my eyes to what is beneath
And the true landscape remains hidden.
[My smiling face is a mask to my soul
Deceiving their eyes to what is beneath,
And my heart is hidden in confusion and lies.]
The wind bites at my skin.
Its touch penetrates through layers of clothes
And my ears ring from its scream.
[Shame gnaws at my heart.
The effects of my life penetrate beyond me
And their hearts ache at my tears.]
The nights come faster, and stay longer.
Darkness falls over the land
And settles in our hearts.
[Hopeless thoughts are coming faster, and staying longer.
Darkness falls over my conscience
And settles in my heart.]
The winter is cold and lonely,
Fearful and dishonest.
[My heart is frozen and alone,
Afraid and confused.]
