And the winds blow fierce and cold

With it's many pleasures;
Who can number, who can tell
All its richest treasures?

But return again, next year,
Bringing warmth and gladness;
Bring the sunshine and the rain,
Bring the lovely flowers again!
Bring the grass to hill and plain,
Bring us summer weather.

what is quickly digested.
