I
The trees have gone bare
They shake in the frigid wind
The sight makes me sad
II
Rain can only fall
Snow floats down on Angel’s wings
Softly touching me
III
The grass was once green
The snow now covers deeply
Hiding until May
IV
Awake in the dark
I hear cold winds through the walls
From ‘neath warm blankets
V
Winter is lonely
Folks hide inside from the cold
I walk without friends
VI
My shovel in hand
I contemplate the new snow
Sparkling in the sun
VII
Come in from the cold
Stomp the snow from heavy boots
Cocoa and the fire
VIII
Walking in the woods
The air is cold and silent
Is it death or sleep?
IX
I feel so tired
I don’t want to go outside
Let me hibernate
X
Deep in winter’s grip
A long, dark tunnel I see
How I yearn for spring!
