The Evergreen All nature is breathing softly in sleep Under winter's warm blanket of white Elemental beings are underground deep Dreaming of spring's coming delight
Evergreen stands like a stalwart knight Protecting his charges in slumber At dawning winter birds take flight Finding feeders without number
Evergreen's prickly rooms are perfect For these feathered friends of mine The evergreen standing so erect Make many a bedroom so fine
Never sleeping when temperatures fall Standing with outstretched branches Evergreen's a shelter for one and all When the snowflakes begin their dances
When darkness falls over the earth And winter sun has gone to bed Squirrels scamper for all their worth To the evergreen they are led
When moon changes places with sun And winter life's on the move We know another day has begun And all is in their groove.
