Winter Wonderland When ole man winter comes to call The first snowflakes begin to fall It’s then a special time of year To spend with my sweetheart so dear My love and I go to the park Just before it’s getting dark We’ll find a seat upon a bench Where we can sit and warmly clench To watch the snow fall on the trees As it drifts so softly on the breeze Tiny specks of silver flashes Lightly fall on our eyelashes The park’s a wonderland at night Beneath a blanket soft and white Fountains there no longer flow Covered by the drifting snow The snowflakes sparkle clear and bright Passing through the street lamp’s light They dance a sweet and soft ballet As through the air they skip and play We love to watch each falling flake As cold and frosty scenes they make Quietly floating from the skies And settling there before our eyes It seems a million diamonds glow As moonlight glistens on the snow The little pond is frozen still Its bank is just a snowy hill We sit and watch this lovely scene As white replaces what was green And as the woods fill up with snow My love and I decide to go Back home we’ll shake our icy chill Beside our frosty window sill Hot cocoa in our warming hand While watching winter’s wonderland |

What an enjoyable, tender poem this is. Sharing the beauty of fresh falling snow and warming up with hot chocolate while you admire it out the window. I love it. Rae |

As beautiful as any Currier & Ives. You have painted with words the majesty they painted in oils. TD ![]() |
