Milk and Honey

Who's afraid of harsh and dark winter nights? 

None of us with cold cheeks waiting for treats, 

your home is full of flavor and warm lights,

in wood chairs, pending we take our seats.

We count on your old hands cooking love,

sweetest whirlpool, ready when the heart lands

in a field of wool, on your rusty stove

you cure any wound with skilled fairy blends.

A cup of fresh white milk, warm and sunny

greener grass and the peaceful cows did it,

then a teaspoon of bright, golden honey

fragrant flowers and clever bees made it.

Drink little ones, this is a magic cream,

cough goes away, and the night is a dream.
