Winter by Louisa May Alcott
The stormy winter`s come at last,
With snow and rain and bitter blast;
Ponds and brooks are frozen o`er,
We cannot sail there any more.
The little birds are flown away
To warmer climes than ours;
They`ll come no more till gentle May
Calls them back with flowers.
Oh, then the darling birds will sing
From their neat nests in the trees.
All creatures wake to welcome Spring,
And flowers dance in the breeze.
With patience wait till winter is o`er,
And all lovely things return;
Of every season try the more
Some knowledge or virtue to learn.
