WINTER
Winter,time of Persephone's doom
Plants die when Pluto her does entomb
Up on earth Demeter weeps
And her seasonal vigil keeps
With Pluto's spell over and broken
Life on earth will again be woken
That is the price of one eaten seed
To which Persephone paid no heed.
So, shrouded is earth deep with white snow
When she plays the part of queen down below
Once the hostage gains her brief release
Anew the land becomes green with ease
That cycle will repeat evermore
And we that season needs must endure
