It’s uphill soon from Christmas

We’re heading now for Spring

The days will start to lengthen

And gardens forth will bring

The snowdrops with their purity

Then golden daffodil

And nights will slowly shorten

As we leave Winter’s chill

We’ve passed December’s solstice

In mid-June some will say

It’s downhill now to Christmas

But that’s a way away.
