Natur’s Finery

Natur’s wakin’ frum her snooze,

Frum her lengthy winter booze;

An’ her spread uv snowy white

She hes kicked frum off her quite.

Kicked her coverlet uv snow

To the days uv “long ago”.

Startin’ in to scrub an’ clean,

An’ to paint her floor ‘ith green.

Soon her winders washed ‘ill be,

Drenched by Ap’l showers free;

An' her tints uv wintry blue

Kalsermined a warmer hue.

Then her scant ol’ dress uv brown,

Torn an’ tattered up an’ down,

Weather beat an’ out uv style,

Will be hung up for awhile.

An’ it’s proud uv her we’ll be

When she dons her finery.
