Winter
As autumn bids the land farewell
And winter's visit starts
An air of pure enchantment
Stirs something in our hearts
The sleeping earth is covered in white
As the snow falls gently down
A sight to behold as the sun comes up
The trees adorned in ermine gowns
The roofs of houses wear snowy crowns
On the hills children shriek with delight
The odor of hickory hangs in the air
Hinting of a fireplace warm and bright
Yards are dotted with snowmen
Each with a jolly bright face
Jack Frost drapes the windowpanes
With a shawl of silvery lace
Footprints dot the landscape
And in the wintry chill
A majestic stag stands regally
A king upon the hill
Winter is a masterpiece
Designed for all to see
A living showcase arranged by God
To be enjoyed by you and me
