Lady Winter
Lady Winter clothed in ermine
On the North Wind gallops in,
Over crystal bridges bright,
Over carpets snowy white.
.
See the North Wind snorting, prancing,
Scare the leaves that, romping, dancing,
Cease their merriment and play
And hurrying, scurrying, run away.

Jack Frost
Elfin pictures on the pane
Mean Jack Frost has come again;
Lace and ferns and vines and flowers,
Snow-capped peaks and fairy bowers.
.
Castles gleaming opalescent,
Rivers flowing iridescent;
Jewels set in filigree,
All in crystal fantasy.

APRIL
Ah, winsome little April!
Who can resist your wiles?
Your darling face now wet with tears,
Now wreathed with sunny smiles.
Above the dull clouds round you
Old Sol looks down in glee,
While yet the pelting rain doth pour
Upon you steadily.
Have patience, little April,
He knows what he’s about;
The raindrops soon will disappear
And he’ll come shining out.
And you and he together
Will work to clear the way,
On which are brought spring’s blossoms
By your sweet sister May.

“Ground-Hog Day.”
Now, listen to my proclamation,
Each Gnome, and Spirit, and Fay,
And mind no weather-man but me,
For this is Ground-Hog Day.
When Lady Spring my shadow sees
In fright she runs away,
But since my shadow I have hid,
Miss Spring will come to stay.
