9 Winter Nights
Blow, wind, blow!
Drift the flying snow!
Send it twirling, whirling overhead!
There's a bedroom in a tree,
Where, snug as snug can be
The squirrel nests in his cosy bed.
Scold, wind, sold,
So bitter and so bold!
Shake the windows with your tap, tap, tap!
With half-shut, dreamy eyes.
The drowsy baby lies,
Cuddled close in his mother's lap.
— Mary F Butts
