Subject(s): Laughter; Spring; Towns; Weather


Trim little towns in waiting,
The winter's coming by.
And buried half beneath the drifts
Your shrouded streets will lie.

Crowding armies from the sky,
With weapons made of sleet,
Winding robes of frost and snow
Will wrap around your feet.

But clouds of fragrant blossoms
Will follow where they tread,
And fat and jolly robins
Will flit along ahead.

Icy veils of white moonbeams
That glisten on the snow,
Changed will be to opal lights
On little brooks that flow.

For every winter born,
There waits somewhere a spring;
Mocking at the howling blasts,
The little breezes sing.
