"Winter Descends"

The snow is all around us

The winter now descends

It brings no joy or pleasure

My energy it spends

It drains from me the wonders

Of spring and summer ways

And takes away my comfort

With cold and bitter days

But off into the distance

A month or two ahead

The spring and its arrival

Means winter will be dead!!
