Heart and Hearth
For a string of warm, sunny days
December extracts her pay
A clipper sails in from the West
Reprieve's end, Nature's stern test
Thermometers plummet
Mild rains, now ice and snow
You and I draw near the fireplace
Nowhere pressing to go
Let the wind shriek and howl
Old Man Winter's wrath flow
Cozy in each other's arms
Hearth and hearts all aglow
