The snow its coming, coming down
On white and weary cloud-lit town.
The cold she's blowing, blowing in,
Bringing with it vice and sin.
The sun he's hiding, hiding well;
Everyone has lights to sell.
The dwarf is selling, selling all;
Every ticket to the ball.
The winter whistles, whistles shrill,
Setting up to make the kill,
And here I'm sitting, sitting slouched;
Legs all tucked up on my couch;
My lamps they're glowing, glowing soft,
Quilts and blankets in my loft.
My story's done; it’s done and told;
I've finally come in from the cold.
I really like the 'beat' of this one. Also the integrating of spiritual and material themes.
ReplyDeleteI could just see you snug and safe in your circle of light and the snow piled at the windows.
Great job!
Hello -
ReplyDeleteI want to find the complete poem from Winnie the Pooh (said by Christopher Robin) that starts with:
"When I was one I had just begun,
When I was two..."
Where can I find this?
Ideas/suggestions are appreciated!!
I believe that is in the book by A. A. Milne titled "Now We Are Six".
