You ask: Why Winter? <br />Winter gives warmth to my verse <br />And as no other season it gives <br />Birth <br />To beauty in its hoar and horrid wonders <br />In its rattling cold and sundry thunders <br />Its rain that floods woods and vales <br />And hamlets trembling small: <br />O Winter! Winter!<br /><br />Emmanuel George Cefai<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/you-ask-why-winter/
