Speaker 1: Winter by Mary Ann H. T. Bigelow read for Lubivox
0:07
Speaker 1: dot Org by Allan Lawley. His thundering car is heard
0:15
Speaker 1: from afar, and his trumpet notes sound or the country around.
0:22
Speaker 1: Stop your ears as you will, that loud blast and
0:28
Speaker 1: shrill is heard by you, still borne along by the gale.
0:35
Speaker 1: In his frost coat of mail, mist, snow, sleet and hail,
0:42
Speaker 1: he comes without fail and drives all before him. Though
0:48
Speaker 1: men beg and implore him just to let them take breath,
0:55
Speaker 1: or he'll drive them to death. But he comes in
0:59
Speaker 1: great state, and for none will he wait. Though he
1:05
Speaker 1: sees their distress, yet he spares them no less, for
1:11
Speaker 1: the cold, stiff limb is nothing to him. An o'er
1:18
Speaker 1: countless blue noses his heart heart he closes. His own
1:24
Speaker 1: children fear him, and dare not come near him. And
1:30
Speaker 1: his favorite child has been known to run wild at
1:35
Speaker 1: his too near approach, her fear of him such and
1:41
Speaker 1: to shriek and to howl, and return scowl for scowl. Indeed,
1:48
Speaker 1: you dare face him, and all shun his embrace. For
1:54
Speaker 1: though pleasant his smile, yet one thinks all the while
2:00
Speaker 1: of that terrible frown which the hardiest clown, though a
2:06
Speaker 1: stout hearted man would avoid if he can, and though
2:13
Speaker 1: many maintain that he gives needless pain, I confess I
2:19
Speaker 1: admire this venerable sire. True his language is harsh and
2:26
Speaker 1: his conduct of rash, and we know well enough that
2:32
Speaker 1: his manners are rough. Yet still in the main we've
2:37
Speaker 1: no right to complain, for if we prepare for him
2:41
Speaker 1: and show that we care for him, we may in
2:45
Speaker 1: him find a true friend and kind with us. He
2:52
Speaker 1: will stay three months to a day. So let us
2:57
Speaker 1: prepare the snug elbowed chair, which placed by the fire
3:03
Speaker 1: for the hoary head sire, may comfort impact and cheer
3:10
Speaker 1: his old heart. Though he seems so unkind, yet always
3:16
Speaker 1: you'll find that his cold heart will warm, and he'll
3:22
Speaker 1: do you no harm if your own can. But feel
3:28
Speaker 1: for your poor neighbors well, and with pity or a
3:33
Speaker 1: flowing your free arms, bestowing, never closing your door on
3:40
Speaker 1: the suffering poor, but clothe, fed and warm them, and
3:45
Speaker 1: see that none harm them. In two others, just do
3:51
Speaker 1: as you wish them by you. Let's adopt but this
3:56
Speaker 1: plan to do good when we can, and the dark,
4:01
Speaker 1: stormy day will full quick pass away, and we never
4:07
Speaker 1: complain of gold weather again, or of tedious long hours
4:14
Speaker 1: that are spent within doors. For when winter winds blow
4:21
Speaker 1: and we're hedged up by snow, we shall find full
4:26
Speaker 1: employment and lack no enjoyment. Thus prepared, let him come,
4:33
Speaker 1: he will find us at home. Bring wind, hail or snow,
4:39
Speaker 1: blow high or blow low. We're prepared for him. Now.
4:46
Speaker 1: Then come winter, come, you'll find us at home. November five,
