Winter's Departure

Spring came back to town today In all her glorius style Winter packed up in a huff And left us for a while We all thought Spring was gone for good For Winter had stayed so long And though we tried to be Winter's friend She draped us in her cold sarong She'd ice the roads over And even freeze the lake No one forgot her cold demeanor Or the warmth she'd always take But when Spring blew in with her flowery array And the sun seemed to shine so bright Winter could not stay around So she left in the middle of night We know that she's not gone for good For she always rushes back too soon As Spring always leaves for Summer Fall also leaves for Winter's melancholy tune
