calm winter day

the sun shines mildly on this winter noon
my mind needs a new focus at this hour
spring's prompt arrival would be a great boon

today the sun's a large pale glowing balloon
the clouds are thin and don't promise a shower
the sun shines mildly on this winter noon

there's even light promised for afternoon
the bell rings out loudly from distant tower
spring's prompt arrival would be a great boon

the postman's been i'll get the letters soon
just as the taste of my work becomes sour
the sun shines mildly on this winter noon

red berries the proud hollies' twigs festoon
staying bright when daylight seems to glower
spring's prompt arrival would be a great boon

in february the soul sighs and longs for june
there is no substitute for light on flower
the sun shines mildly on this winter noon
spring's prompt arrival would be a great boon
