The shortest day has passed on by
The shortest day has passed on by,
Which means spring must be on its way.
But no matter how hard I try,
I see no sign of it today.
Lighter days have not yet been told,
That they should be on their way back.
Outside it is still far too cold,
All those signs of spring, the trees lack.
The morning frost covers the ground,
Spring bulbs are hiding deep below.
There’s not a snowdrop to be found,
Daffodil tips refuse to show.
Winter storms are crossing the land,
Their winds blowing the clouds along.
Ice reaches out its long cold hand.
Birds refuse to sing their spring song.
The shortest day has departed,
It’s walked pass us and out of view.
Let’s hope spring soon get restarted,
Bringing back warmth and skies of blue.
