A vision came to me of spring
Across the bright, cold, winter air
of budding trees and birds that sing;
a field of meadow flowers fair
...
The sleet comes tinkling down in a whispered melody
A white rain in a still, sleeping world
That turns to crystal the bare, brown branches
Of the silent slumbering trees.
...
Into the hushed winter woods
I silently steal.
A sacred sanctuary of stillness
And stark, white beauty.
...
The rain is falling all around me
And it's raining in my heart.
Everything is dull and dark
Since you told me you were leaving.
