There's outside a winter's song <br />With frore and grayish earth, <br />We had the summer for so long <br />For what each day was worth; <br />I'll long for summer and spring <br />Each time the night gets cold, <br />When weather hollowly will sing <br />In winter so frosty and bold. <br /> <br />A flower so gracefully done <br />The winter's rose in my window, <br />I'll greet you gladly on and on <br />Cherish your pearl white afterglow; <br />I've often been in a moody down <br />When darker the short day comes, <br />Then I see frosty rose jewel crown <br />And know in the cold it blooms. <br /> <br />Winter romance and candle lights <br />Longing for green sweet earth, <br />Longing for clearings sky bright <br />And all what the day young's worth; <br />How can it touch the morning flame <br />The winter that's gray and dark, <br />Will not each color be there same <br />Without its golden morning spark.<br /><br />Peter S.
