"The Seasons of My Love",[1] also called "Seasons of My Love",[2] is a Myrish love song that is popular in Westeros. It is sweet, and sad if the words are understood.[1] The tune is also sad and sweet.[3]

Lyrics

The order of each verse is not known, as the song has not yet been sung in its entirety within the books. Known verses include:

I loved a maid as fair as summer
with sunlight in her hair.[4]

I loved a maid as red as autumn
with sunset in her hair.[3]

I loved a maid as white as winter
with moonglow in her hair.[5]
