Snow Has Fallen
snow was falling, falling, falling
on the streets, on the houses, on everything
and the ground is now covered in a carpet of white
the trees are draped in snowy shawls
and the woods went from autumn to winter overnight
wild animals are snug and sleeping in their lairs
though hidden birds are still tweeting a song
and I am go for a walk all bundled up
with a bitter northern wind howling in my face
oh, it is cold, cold, cold ...
but, I am not afraid of winter
for I was born in a snowstorm
and have always had an affinity to snowflakes
and falling snow ... and to the frigid cold
of Canada
