Midnight Song of the Seasons: Winter Song
Now if you want a friend who'll understand,
Observe the pine and cypress forests here
And how, through frost and blizzard, still they stand,
Unflinching in the coldness of the year.

Wish to make good friend
Just look pine cypress forest
In frost not fall ground
Year cold without disloyalty
