This song seems to me a little hard to decipher but the first two verses sets a scene of a old man in a post autumn in a snow like environment:
"lies the autumn's last withered leaf"
"Land now bare and naked
awaits it's snowy sheet" means waiting for winters snow.
Its just about sun-down time:
"And as the light still lingers
painting scarlet this barren scene"
"An old man sings his song
of melancholy and relinquish" not too sure about this, i do not know if it is as literal as a old man singing but it is refered to again at the end of the song
The chorus does not make any sense to me, i think it may just be the singer praising this "elder ones" life or the magnificence of his presence.
And the last two verses seem to be about him becoming one with nature, so i think he died or drowned himself in a river.
