And the little Saints came down,

the little Saints came down the ladders of Heaven

to sing for the frozen children

whose tears

glowd like love in the cold.

Beautiful Griselda,

how you dream!

You have been drinking wine, Child,

that's why your heart is singing.

Your cold face does not move

but how you dream !

You turn your head in the drifts of leaves

until the snow melts

and your dreaming eyes

open like strawberries.

There is no evil here. The snow is so soft, so white. Tho the children will never waken, they are not dead. They sleep.

O how the heart breaks

yearning to awaken the sleeping children.

Look ! Childhood lies here

at the foot of the ladders of Heaven.

Here are the strawberries.

There is no evil here.
