Farewell, Winter

1t has been a weary season. this
old winter that departs. Spring ar
rives. and with good reason we have
gladness in our hearts. Always
when the winters aging we grow
weary of its curves, weary of its
futile raging. and its presence jars
our nerves. When the wind. i'll nook
and Granny. howls through dark and
bitter hours. how we yearn for Gen.
tie Annie, with her apron full OF
flowers! When the winter first
comes chasing. we preteud we like
its play; "'Ah. this cold" we say, is
bracing. it is good for any jay: It
is fine to face the blizzard, and IT
makes us young again; heat may
suit the clammy lizard. cold is for
the sons OF men" For a week we
smile and chortle. as we jog through
drifted snow; but our mirth is frail
and mortal. and fortnight lays it
low. Oh. the night wind is uncanny,
and it has ghostly sound. and we
yearn for Gentle Annie with
yearning most profound. Snow
will do for crazed explorers who
would find some sort OF pole. but
the spring winds are reStorers OF
the weary human soul. And | sit
here with my granny, arm i'll arm
we twain abide, and we root for
Gentle Annie, gladly letting winter
slide.
