Winter cries<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

A broken sob<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Of rain and throbbing grey<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

To wistful white<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

A sorry sight<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

A tear track trails<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And smiling fails<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

As frost bites hard<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Each chew and chomp<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Enamel stomp<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Upon a tongue<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Of furry sludge<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

A grisly grudge<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

A snarling wind<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And screeching trees<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Fog whispers <\/span>please…<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And begs for entry<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

To the heart<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The roaring hearth<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The glowing soul<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Oh let me in, let me in…<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Cailleach cries<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

But listen not<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

If you are wise.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
