upon a Winter Wonderland
under soft and shiny snow
lie mice and voles
within their holes
their hides, like ice, a-show
upon a Winter Wonderland
under trees with branches low
run hare and deer
with wolves behind
across the hills they go
upon a Winter Wonderland
twenty years ago
children ran and
sang and danced
under lantern lights a-glow
upon a Winter Wonderland
a Wonderland no more
drifts smoke and smog
across a bog
the aftermath of War
