Winter's Day
Villanelle
How quickly the days gone by
Have entered a short reprieve,
As winter freezes far and nigh.
Through the clouds the geese did fly.
Warm days they'll soon retrieve,
How quickly the day's gone by.
An old man watches asking why,
The trees do seem to grieve,
As winter freezes far and nigh.
A young girl waits nearby.
She does not want to leave.
How quickly the day's gone by.
To block the wind, or reach the sky
The snow cannot deceive,
As winter freezes far and nigh.
Winter comes, a heaving sigh,
It blows while we receive.
How quickly the day's gone by
As winter freezes far and nigh.
