The Joy of Winter

Crackling fire
Falling flakes
What a pretty scene this makes

Leaves are rustling on the ground
Nothing nearby makes a sound

Lighted candles on the hearth
People that are full of joy and mirth

Pets are resting safe inside
From the storm they're trying to hide

While the wind is howling by
And there's turmoil in the sky

We must stay in our retreat
Heads on winter, we will meet
