A Melancholy Afternoon by Eugene R. Mariani Lyrics

Steeple chimes toll medieval hymns...
Snowflakes drift chaotically past
Windows dressed in layers of frost.
A solitary plane drones westward
As clouds crowd concrete gray skies.
Sighing mournfully, the wind
Wanders through nude ginkgo trees
Swirling forgotten leaves in January eddies.
Bundled figures scurry quickly
Seeking hearth, home and heart.
Thoughts turn to long hidden memories
Of another time...
Another place...
Another January...
Another snowfall.
