Come, winter

Blow, wondrous wind,
      Freezing breath,
      Chilling breeze:
I am weary of summer,
      Of heat.

Come, grayish clouds,
      Obscure the sky,
      Obscure the sun:
I am weary of its glare,
      Of its blazing.

Fall, winter snow,
      Purest white,
      New and bright:
Cover all earth's flaws with peace,
      Come, quench its heat.

Come, winter.
