Cold the air in morning rain, Dull the grass and houses plain, Branches sway in trees so bare, Little does the world so care. Clouded gray so clouds go by, Flowers hide with lonely cries, Dandelions in frozen earth, Wait for spring and for their birth. Snow like slush upon our eyes, Melts so ***** with no disguise, Water frozen on ponds so lost, Winter takes a heavy cost. Dandelions soon will grace, With color bright upon this place, While heat and time renew the earth, The pretty weeds will prove their worth.
