She granted me her softest kiss today
When warming rays embraced my longing heart,
But winter's frigid hands pulled us apart
When falling snow concealed the day in gray.
I begged for spring to melt the falling snow
When winter laid her pearly gown on me,
But spring declined, and warmth began to flee,
Which left me cold when winds began to blow.
But then she turned and left a parting kiss
And whispered words that set my mind at ease:
“Fear not my frigid sister's cold embrace,
For days she has before I take my place.”
And so, as winter brings a chilly breeze,
I wait for spring's return of warmth and bliss.
