I did not think,
You would come
on this wintry night.

You came so close,
I did not tell You to come so near,
and yet still nearer.

Outside the biting wind blew
and all the doors were closed.
I did not open the door and tell You,
"Come inside, come inside the house,
on this rainy wintry night."

Your eyes stared at my face.
Who knows why You gazed at me.
I did not know that Your feelings were wounded.

Not even once did I ask You to speak,
on this rainy wintry night.
You went far away on Your lonely path,
heedless of the biting cold outside,
and not even once did I ask You to stay inside,
on this rainy wintry night.
