As My Bare Feet Felt Cold Of Hoary Frost As my bare feet felt cold of *hoary frost I wandered the back pasture dazed and lost Night had sent me into a sad dawn's grasp Waking to horrors I let out a gasp Sun sat silent and dark in a harsh sky Its broken heart one would surely deny Echoing wind summoned courage to blow Set willing flowers to put on a show In each dance they swayed back and forth in time I could almost hear steps in perfect rhyme Sun sat silent and dark in a harsh sky Its broken heart one would surely deny As Heaven found my horrid plight a loss It vowed to teach Nature it is the boss With a snap that old dark sun did bright shine In a wink, smile brought to this face of mine Sun was gleaming proud in jubilant sky Its swift repaired heart, none could deny Robert J.
