Relent

Draft thee, Oh fated courage read as go
that headstrong empathy must not confound
wait out the dormancy's entail, be slow
as cold the Winter's stalling, ounce by ounce!

That silent purge so white the fields of snow
as underneath man knows the ground's extent
the seasons bustle, advocate not stow
cold thrives on nature's retrogressed relent!
