Festive green hollies,
Decked out with heaped drapes
Of freshly fallen snow,
A bold little red breasted Robin,

Strings of stars borrowed from the heavens
Next to angels with golden hair;
Flying sleighs and drummer boys,

to springtime -when the robin’s trills I hear
which come from trees which years ago we grew.

sweeping brown locks of a tiny urchin
side to side, often hiding her eyes.
