Unseasonable Flowers
Roses bloom through the month of December
Fuchsias still bloom and primroses linger
The last honeysuckle blossom falls
Though the buds still grow
Winter by the sea
In a warming world
Flowers and mud
Rain and at last a chill that almost freezes
Where is the snow?
In the mountains
Far above us
For we dwell by the sea
There is snow at last in winter
In the mountains that distant be
But where is the snow
To brighten our holiday season?
How could we do this?
There is no worthwhile reason
Knowing what we now know
As we yearn for a December snow.
