Cold and frosty, it silently falls
"It's coming down!" excitement calls

The balls are ready, but I'm not afraid
I have my own weapons to hurl away
If only this whiteness could stay

Dear bright covering, you blanket of white
How I love the way you paint the night
The quiet loveliness our world knows
but I love it also when it goes
