Winter Love

Let us have winter loving that the heart
May be in peace and ready to partake
Of the slow pleasure spring would wish to hurry
Or that in summer harshly would awake,
And let us fall apart, O gladly weary,
The white skin shaken like a white snowflake.
Elizabeth Jennings


Winter Colors of Beauty

Remember, though the season be
A blackish-gray monotony
Of cloudy sky and muffled sound
And snow that lies on frigid ground.

To each of us there comes a season
That soothes the soul and rights the reason
When we have learned to cast aside
Our bitterness, our greed and pride.

And in their stead, we then displace
These senseless faults with God's pure grace
Then Winters bitter wind departs
And we feel Spring within our hearts.

Where flowers bloom in Grand array
And rainbows chase the gloom away
For kinder thoughts and nobler deeds
Are what an ailing body needs.

At times we grow; at times we rest
The time for each, He knows the best
Through every season, oh, may we be
Drawn closer Lord, my God, to Thee.
Polly Thornton


In Winter

In these long, slow winter hours my Carolina
sits by the fire that glimmers in the salon,
curled up or half curled up in the softest chair,
enveloped in her enormous sable coat.

The white angora stretches out beside her,
rubbing his nose against the lace of her skirt;
behind them, the porcelain jardinieres from China
loom up against the Japanese silk screen.

Carolina is drugged with the sly philters of sleep.
I enter without a word, take off my gray coat,
and kiss her face, which is as rosy and bright

as a red rose that once was a fleur-de-lis.
She opens her eyes and looks at me with a smile.
Outside, the snow is still falling over Paris.
Ruben Dario


Haze Shade Of Winter
Songs and Lyrics

Time time time
See what's become of me
Time time time
To see what's become of me
While I looked around for my possibilties
I was so hard to please
Look around, piece of ground and beside,
It's a hazy shade of winter
We're in the salvation army band
Down by the hillside

I can watch you pass time
Carry a gun in your hand
Look around, piece of ground and beside,
It's a hazy shade of winter
Hang on to your hope my friend
That's mean leave things the same
If your time has passed away
Simply pretend that you can get them again
Look around right and high,
You're so right
It's a spring time of my life
Seasons change with the scenery
Leaving time in a tapestry
Won't you stop and remember me

Look around, piece of ground and beside,
It's a hazy shade of winter
Look around, meet your friend
There's a patch of snow on the ground
Look around piece of ground,
There's a patch of snow on the ground…

The Rose

Some say love, it is a river
that drowns the tender reed.
Some say love, it is a razor
that leaves your soul to bleed.
Some say love, it is a hunger,
an endless aching need.
I say love, it is a flower,
and you it's only seed.

It's the heart afraid of breaking
that never learns to dance.
It's the dream afraid of waking
that never takes the chance.
It's the one who won't be taken,
who cannot seem to give,
and the soul afraid of dyin'
that never learns to live.

When the night has been too lonely
and the road has been too long,
and you think that love is only
for the lucky and the strong,
just remember in the winter
far beneath the winter snows
lies the seed that with the sun's love
in the spring becomes the rose.
Bette Midler
Album Bette Of Roses


Quotes About Winter

For the ignorant,
old age is as winter;
for the learned, it is a harvest.
Jewish Proverb

In the depths of winter I finally learned
there was in me an invincible summer.
Albert Camus

One kind word can warm
three winter months.
Japanese Proverb

My age is as a lusty winter,
Frosty but kindly.
William Shakespeare

Winter is the time of promise because
there's so little to do,
or because you can now and then
permit yourself the luxury of thinking so.
Stanley Crawford

Through winter time we call on spring,
And through the spring on summer call,
And when the abounding hedges ring
Declare that winter's best of all:
And after that there's nothing good
Because the spring time has not come,
Nor know that what disturbs our blood
Is but its longing for the tomb.
W. B. Yeats

Winter is nature's way of saying,
"Up yours."
Robert Byrne

It was the best of times,
it was the worst of times,
it was the age of wisdom,
it was the age of foolishness,
it was the spring of hope,
it was the winter of despair.
In short, the period was so far
like the present period.
Charles Dickens

There's a certain slant of light,
On winter afternoons,
That oppresses, like the weight
Of Cathedral tunes.
Emily Dickinson

What fire could ever equal
the sunshine of a winter's day?
Thoreau

Laughter is the sun that drives
winter from the human face.
Victor Hugo

The phrase "The Winter of our discontent"
comes from William Shakespeare's
King Richard the III
