HIDDEN LIFE, by                    
First Line: Sleep on field and forest
Last Line: In spring!
Subject(s): Winter


SLEEP on field and forest;
Winter's everywhere,
Binding up the river,
Freezing in the air,
Storming through the tree-tops,
Drifting on the plain:
Is Nature dead? Will Summer
Never come again?

Life in bush and burrow,
Out of sight to man;
Root and fur and feather,
How they dream and plan,
Colors that they'll bloom in,
All the songs they'll sing,
When the sunlight touches them
In Spring!
