: FOUR SISTERS :
Spring stirs her eager young Giving life, renewed to those Who stand about and doze She whispers hope, of things begun Beneath winter's cold repose. Summer, smiling golden rays With ample breasts of rain Feeds, and soothes the pain Of changing white to green to gray While dressing her wards again. Fall, donning multicolored hues Weeps, her leaves cascading As her life is brilliantly fading She takes with her the morning dew Leaving frost in the trading. Winter, wearing crystal shards Bares her nudity to all Standing gracefully tall She lays a white robe upon my yard While singing her wanton call. And I.....well, I sit passively by Watching through shielding glass Four sisters marching past Thanking God who dwells on high For His daughters stark contrasts.
