In Winter.

Yes. Winter has It's special joys:
The pleasure of the bracing air:
Enjoyment of the landscape. with
The white snow glistening every
where;
The skating. skiing, and the fun
OF coasting to your heart desire:
Aud one of its most pleasant stunts
Is Just 10 sit before the fire.
How grateful iS the CHEEKY blaze
OF burning logs or glowing coal!
How fun of pictures are the flames.
And how the warmth delights the
soul!
Let others face the nipping cold
With all the pep it may inspire,
The pleasure of the indolent
Is just to sit before the fire.
Its pleasant there to rest and dream
On sunny days. when it Is warm:
Its pleasanter, when Natures wild.
To lit there, sheltered from the storm.
\ good book helps to pass the time
If doing nothing tends to tire
but lazy folks ask nothing more
Than just 10 SIT before the fire.
