Dedication
Come cold the
snow --
White fleeced our warm
world.
Cold, crisp sounds.
Adults relunctantly chore
their errands --
wondrous wonderland
for children.
Cold white magic
everywhere.
Sleep little froggy,
sleep,
secluded warmly below
ground.
Sleep, little froggy,
sleep
White blanket holds
you dear
until spring's thaw --
your curtain call.
For nature's wondrous play
continues....
Bon Hiver!
bon hiver.
Good winter and day
to you all.
Cold and clear,
snow-carpeted
Earth.
Bon hiver, bon hiver.
Winter's rise a cold feat,
Air's surprise a snowy pleat
Skirts of white
cool so night
Bon hiver, bon hiver.
Sleepy times come
round at last,
Snow's covered my summer's
repast,
The pic-nic table
all in white
Starlings call,
and still
the night.
Bon hiver, bon hiver.
Heater spark
and fire crackle,
Dreamily from my
long sleep I hear
a grackle.
Cold winds yet to blow,
Whose is the future,
is it,
yet to know
Bon hiver, bon hiver.
And when long night,
come round at last,
I settle in from supper night's
brief repast
Amd pull quilts up tight
and settle in finally
at night
Wishing and dreaming of you:
Bon hiver, bon hiver.
