The Cold Lands















The Cold Lands
Frost on the window pane
The chill winding is blowing
Fallen leaves in the lane
The bonfire is glowing

Dog walkers on bare sands
Sea weed’s black covering
These are the cold lands
Old forest uncovering

The woods barren and bare
A small vole is hibernating
There’s a chill in the air
And winter is waiting

By the fireside, I read a book
Outside the window flew a rook
