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.
