Lady Winter cold and fair
Gliding in on freezing air
Autumn leaves and shuts the door
She enters the world once more
White as bone and bleak as death
The freezing wind that is her breath
Flowers wither at the tip
Of her frigid winter whip
Frost that gathers on the glass
Is how she shows that she has passed
Her tears; the snow from the sky
But why ever does she cry?
A gift no one will ever miss
The frostbite that is her kiss
Birds that flee for warmer places
Deny the lady's cold embraces
Because of her frozen face
Waters will not flow with grace
She cries; would you expect no less?
Nothing but unhappiness
Lady Winter gets no love
From below or up above
Forever she must pay the price
No wonder she's as cold as ice
