Winter Shades

Now winter nights enlarge, the number of hours
And clouds their storms enlarge, upon the airy towers

All do no all things well, some [bad word] tread
Some knotted riddles tell, some poems smoothly read

I see winter shades, again I wait for you
Fall the snow, and cover me
I feel the winter came, to take my emptiness

This time doth well dispense, with lovers’ long discourse
Much speech hath some defense, though beauty no remorse

All do no all things well, some [bad word] tread
Some knotted riddles tell, some poems smoothly read

I see winter shades, again I wait for you
Fall the snow, and cover me
I feel the winter came, to take my emptiness

The summer has it’s joys, they are for us
And winter cold is with delights
Though love and all his pleasures are but toys
They shorten lonely frosty nights

I see winter shades, again I wait for you
Fall the snow, and cover me
I feel the winter came, to take my emptiness
