Arbor snow of russet, gold
falls from the trees, denuded, cold
A fairy wind whispers very low
‘The North Wind comes! He soon will blow! ‘
They shiver in silence, feeling raw
No sunshine warmth for them to draw
Branches wave in weary stance
like ballerinas, they try to dance
to keep warm. The earth now cold
Faded leaves fall like autumn gold
Sighing deeply, they long for Spring
Nature renewed in her latest bling…
