Temperatures fast falling

Through silent hours of night

'Til we all awaken

To world bright painted white

Trees left bare and barren

When autumn leaves were lost

Transformed as if by magic

Here clothed in diamond frost

Sparkling in the sunshine

Through winter's pure device

Stark branches raised to beauty

Fresh dressed in glittering ice.
