Newstead Abbey was dull and drab
The other day when we paid a visit !
The trees were bear and spindly there,
The flowers all gone, there was not a one,
It looked sad and lonely,
If only, it was summer again, when the place looks alive with flowers and trees and the birds and the bees , when they are happy to please!
The poor place has been beaten and bashed by the wind and the rain ,
I hope it all comes back again !
Hopefully summer will be here soon to heal the wounds of the winter attack !
Beauty and colour will all come back!
Byron would turn in his grave
if he saw how sad his beloved home looks now in this miserable cold and sorrowful winter weather!
