Darker Days
Martha Jobson
Darker days are coming,
Shunning the sunlight away.
Raindrops are drumming,
Winter’s on its way.
Darker days are coming,
Leaves are falling fast.
Animals are running,
To hibernate at last.
Darker days are coming,
It’s time to light the fire.
Flames and sparks are humming,
Watch them climbing higher.
Darker days are coming,
The clocks are turning back.
The winter world is stunning,
Follow in its track.
