The sun sinks low, And for some it doesn't show, Leaving a velvety black sky, All day and all night, With fairy lights, Piercing down, On to the snow kissed ground, Around ponds mirrored in ice, Host of pucks and skates, A sign of winter revelry, At this the low point, In the northern lands, Nature sleeps the dark away, Of the solstice before Christmas day.
