Oh, Wintertime with weathered hue of leafless trees and faded lawns; the sting of cold with biting winds, much shorter days and dreary dawns- Oh, Winter, with your weathered hue- I share my winter blues with you. As I, behind this window, stand- observe this season that holds sway, I'm filled with ashen, Winter gloom that buried Autumn's lovely stay. Oh, Winter, with your weathered hue- I share my winter blues with you. But, now I see your snowflakes fall to quickly transform grays to white! Your blanket gleams below blue skies- becomes white satin neath moonlight. Oh, Winter, hide your weathered hue- whitewash my winter blues with you. Uplifted by your pristine snow- the bright sun beaming off its glaze, I know that dormant Spring will rise- a sliver of nirvana splays. Oh, Springtime will bring life anew- and I will share in rebirth too.
