Subject(s): Winter
The cold, ice-sucking Wind has gone,
The air breathes quietly;
The Rain has come, as warm as spray
That sprinkles ships at sea.
And I remember how I woke,
Before my time to rise,
And heard a Robin and a Thrush
Cheering the winter skies.
Now when my Summer fails to shine,
And skies are cold and grey –
I'll let my Memory warm her hands
At this fine winter's day.
