Spring arrived early this year
Why February?it was not clear
Early blooming red-maples burst
Bloomed buds died at first
A snowstorm came the other day
Migrating birds lost their way
Their food supply lay frozen
Nature caused commotion
Flowers confused had bloomed
Were frozen in their gloom
Daffodils nodded to their icy life
Their numbered days a sacrifice
Chipmunks stayed underground
Nary a nut could be found
The trees dried up their sap
They shuttered and moaned
Their leaves were iced and cold
No one had known or foretold
A lone coyote gave a mournful cry
Alas, ti's sad to have to say
Shed a tear for the passing of joy
Never to enchant girl or boy
The beautiful spring of yesteryear
Is gone forever, my dear
More snow predicted is on the doom
Must lovely Spring leave us so soon?
