Blinding, the sun's rays
Blushing bright in the branches.
Just above zero.
Blushing bright in the branches.
Just above zero.
Sun rays that won't melt;
Lying flat upon the snow
Waiting there to thaw.
Lying flat upon the snow
Waiting there to thaw.
Frigid the swings hang;
No child to sit upon them
Or to warm their seats.
No child to sit upon them
Or to warm their seats.
Long past Christmas tree
Lies fuzzy in the bushes;
No longer distinct.
Lies fuzzy in the bushes;
No longer distinct.
Logs over stream beds
Two bridges over nothing
In this winter freeze.
Formed by plow and sun,
Round dunes stand by the road side;
(They do not shiver)
Round dunes stand by the road side;
(They do not shiver)
A garrulous bird
Keeps on asking a question
Flying through the air.
Keeps on asking a question
Flying through the air.
The woods are silent;
Still, shadows lie on the road.
Everything's frozen.
Still, shadows lie on the road.
Everything's frozen.
