When the Winter Winds Blow
by Suzanne Harper
When the breath of the Great Bear
Blows frost through the trees,
Deep down in their roots,
With the slumbering seeds,
Curled up against cold,
The small creatures go,
For we all will need shelter
When the winter winds blow.
High in the branches,
That stretch to the sky
Frozen stars sparkle
And moon owls cry
Weary wings folded,
The huddled birds know
We all will need shelter
When the winter winds blow.
When the winter winds blow
When the winter blows.
Weary wings folded,
The huddled birds know
We all need a shelter
When the winter winds blow.
When the world turns a shoulder
That chills to the bone
In doorways, on pavements,
Naked hearts find their home.
We are the warmth
Their souls seek to know.
For we all will need shelter
When the winter winds blow.
When the winter winds blow,
When the winter winds blow.
We are the warmth
Their souls seek to know
For we all will need shelter
When the winter winds blow.
