<h2> WINTER'S BEAUTY </h2>
<p>Is it not fine to walk in spring,<br/>
When leaves are born, and hear birds sing?<br/>
And when they lose their singing powers,<br/>
In summer, watch the bees at flowers?<br/>
Is it not fine, when summer's past,<br/>
To have the leaves, no longer fast,<br/>
Biting my heel where'er I go,<br/>
Or dancing lightly on my toe?<br/>
Now winter's here and rivers freeze;<br/>
As I walk out I see the trees,<br/>
Wherein the pretty squirrels sleep,<br/>
All standing in the snow so deep:<br/>
And every twig, however small,<br/>
Is blossomed white and beautiful.<br/>
Then welcome, winter, with thy power<br/>
To make this tree a big white flower;<br/>
To make this tree a lovely sight,<br/>
With fifty brown arms draped in white,<br/>
While thousands of small fingers show<br/>
In soft white gloves of purest snow.<br/></p>
