The taste of winter
Has been very bitter;
We're tired of the snow
And sleet that litters.
 
Bring us the sunshine,
Bring flowers that bloom;
Bring us warm breezes,
Good weather that looms.
 
The taste of winter
Is so very cold this year;
We're in a cycle
Winter won't leave we fear.
 
We hunger for spring
And new life on this earth;
Flowers and sunshine
Have a tremendous worth.

The taste of winter
Is bitter right now;
But spring's on the way
And we'll make it somehow.
