The Approach of Spring

Snowstorm and blizzard howl
 Winter's veil has covered the hills
 Under its icy bark it hides
 The calm water creeks
 Everything freezes as the wind rages
 The sky is covered with a grey haze
 But the clouds shall leave and sun will shine
 Melting the last frost from the trees
 The blizzards have become weaker
 The cold is no longer fierce
 A subtle dripping is heard
 The vivid messenger of thunderstorms of May
 The forests will breathe again after the winter's sleep
 The sun's rays shall fall unto the earth
 And a careless rain shall pour
 Giving birth to the young streams in the woods
 Everything passes in the circle of life
 The winter's cold is replaced by spring
 The chirping of birds shall drive away the frigid howl of the snowstorm
 And bring the warmth to the world
