The wind howls loud, the snow falls deep,
As Kyoto shivers in its wintry sleep,
A blizzard rages through the night,
Painting the city in a sea of white.
The streets are silent, the lights are dim,
As snowflakes dance in an icy hymn,
The world outside is a winter wonder,
But inside, hearts beat with a gentle thunder.
Through the blizzard's cold and biting sting,
Kyoto's beauty remains an eternal thing,
For even in the darkest winter night,
Her spirit shines with a warm and brilliant light.
