ON A WINTER'S NIGHT



  Listen to the wind howl, watch the snow as it 
  Settles on the ground,


 The trees are without leaves but their branches are 
  Covered with a blanket of white.


 The animals take refuge in their homes wherever 
  They may be,


  The stars are hidden from sight as the clouds fill 
  The sky.


  The smell of smoke from chimneys as fires are 
  Burning to warm those inside,


  A drink that warms the bones on such a chilly 
  Night.


  A stroll in the snow, there's a place we go,



  On a Winter's night, peaceful in our minds.
