The branches are drooping,
The needles are dropping,
The ornaments are hanging,
And gone are the stockings.
***
The world's at a standstill,
Animals are all silent,
Trees are all bare,
Plants are all reasting.
***
And the tree in the house,
Sits all dried out,
Waiting for the day,
You throw it out.
***
Until then it sits,
Without gifts to cover,
Just an empty space,
From when Christmas was over.
