Spring to winter

Buds and shoots are pushing up

Flowers opening to the sun

Bright green freshness everywhere

Lambs and ducklings having fun

Kites are flying on the wind

Sudden showers make us run.

These are things that tell us when

Spring’s here again.

 

Days that last a long, long time

Children swimming in the sea

Ice cream in the hot bright sun

Shining leaves on every tree

There’s no school so every day

All my friends can play with me.

These are things that tell us when

Summer’s here again.

 

Leaves are falling on the ground

All the trees drop their disguise

Squirrels gather up their nuts

Sleepy creatures close their eyes

Days are short: afternoons and

Mornings have much darker skies.

These are things that tell us when

Autumn’s here again.

 

Stars like snowflakes in the sky

Robins sit on leafless trees

All the children wish for snow

Waiting for the lakes to freeze

Cheeks and noses turn bright red

Many people start to sneeze.

These are things which tell us when

Winter’s here again.
