Waiting For Spring

Springtime lies hidden beneath frosted fern It's resting under the clear star lit sky Forever waiting until you return As dawn hints red I can see with concern Clouds gather on the Horizon, snow's nigh Springtime lies hidden beneath frosted fern The morning sun peeps through, but fails to burn Thin mist from fields, so it's left just to lie Forever waiting until you return So patiently wait for seasons to turn The sun's past its zenith, how time doth fly Springtime lies hidden beneath frosted fern The young skylark waits for winters adjourn To pass the time he sings joy from up high Forever waiting until you return Day's end is here but it's hard to discern If the ice has melted much, but we try Springtime lies hidden beneath frosted fern Forever waiting until you return

No it's not for the competition, I'm just experimenting, think the iambic part is a bit dodgy, I find it really hard.
