Winter Winter


winter...  winter...

what have you brought me,

besides the cold and

the rain and snow?

winter...  winter...

why did you take away from

me the summers of which

I am so fond?

winter...  winter...

you make me wear all these

heavy clothes that are

too much for my tired

old shoulders...  and yet,

you seem not to care what

burdens you place upon

these days of yours;

winter...  winter...

give me back my warmth

give me back my sunshine

give me back my sense of

belonging outside that the

summer mistress bestowed

upon me at the very beginning

of my life promising never

to take it away again;

winter...  winter...

are you the result of all this

warming we've been recently

having across the land?
