Winter my secret[00:00:00]
I tell my secret No indeed not I;[00:00:02]
Perhaps some day who knows [00:00:06]
But not today; it froze and blows and snows [00:00:09]
And you're too curious: fie [00:00:13]
You want to hear it well:[00:00:15]
Only my secret's mine [00:00:17]
And I won't tell [00:00:20]
Or after all perhaps there's none:[00:00:22]
Suppose there is no secret after all [00:00:25]
But only just my fun [00:00:27]
Today's a nipping day a biting day;[00:00:29]
In which one wants a shawl [00:00:32]
A veil a cloak and other wraps:[00:00:34]
I cannot ope to everyone who taps [00:00:37]
And let the draughts come whistling thro' my hall;[00:00:39]
Come bounding and surrounding me [00:00:43]
Come buffeting astounding me [00:00:44]
Nipping and clipping thro' my wraps and all [00:00:47]
I wear my mask for warmth: who ever shows[00:00:50]
His nose to Russian snows[00:00:53]
To be pecked at by every wind that blows [00:00:55]
You would not peck I thank you for good will [00:00:58]
Believe but leave the truth untested still [00:01:01]
Spring's an expansive time: yet I don't trust[00:01:05]
March with its peck of dust [00:01:08]
Nor April with its rainbow-crowned brief showers [00:01:10]
Nor even May whose flowers[00:01:14]
One frost may wither thro' the sunless hours [00:01:16]
Perhaps some languid summer day [00:01:19]
When drowsy birds sing less and less [00:01:22]
And golden fruit is ripening to excess [00:01:24]
If there's not too much sun nor too much cloud [00:01:27]
And the warm wind is neither still nor loud [00:01:31]
Perhaps my secret I may say [00:01:34]
Or you may guess [00:01:37]
