Author's Notes:
What makes you happy? I wonder... what makes you happy... does it make... others happy, too?
Oh, woe is me! This heavy heart
Goes out to those of the mountain,
Whose warm home was frozen
By the hatred of an imp…

However, there was one there,
The hero of his people, who stood
Against the imp’s icy-magic, only
To fall to his death! Oh, woe is me!

I plead, great goddess,
Hallowed be thy name!
Grant me another chance
To ease these people’s pain.
Hear the song I play…

Give ear! Give ear!
To the melody I sing this day.
