Spring fails to come
Cold Mountain path off the beaten track
cold brook banks natural and graceful
there are birds constantly chirping
solitude -- no-one calling the hours
blowing wind patters my face
lots of snow heaps onto my body
day after day the Sun fails to show
year after year spring fails to come
