This is the song written by Talayasen the sparrow youkai, titled 'Winter Rose and Silver Thief'. I felt like putting it up.
When the fires of dawning
Are ages away;
And the starlight and moonlight
Have come out to play;
When the forests and meadows
Are all deep asleep;
A lone Winter's Maiden
Shall lone vigil keep.
Chorus 1:
White Maiden keeps watching
And waiting for him;
Bright fox will keep fighting
And do naught but win.
For the love of a Thief-King
Who's long from his home,
And the promise he made her
When he left to roam:
'Not Death nor her ruler
Can keep me from you--
I'll be back by the dawnlight,
With prizes no few.'
Chorus 2:
A jewel Thief-king's downfall
And necklace of gold;
Hunter ended his charmed life
And death took a hold.
But his promise was broken--
He did not return.
He was slain in the midnight
She later did learn.
Still she waits for his coming
No matter how long;
Winter Rose and Silver Thief--
This is their song.
Chorus 3:
For thieves stealing is living
But comes at a price;
Their lives can be forfeit
And gone in a trice.
