FIRST FROST

FIRST FROST

Early this morning
I awoke to find
That the house was chilly,
Yet I didn't mind.

I turned the heat up,
Soon felt a little better;
Looked out of the window
To see if it was wetter.

No rain last night!
I must tell you this
Everything was white
Like Nature's kiss.

First frost had come!
Winter will begin
Before my eyes,
Almost a sin!

Yet it must come,
I know that's true -
'Tis the season
And nothing new!
