Snow-Bound: A Winter Idyll by John Greenleaf Whittier

One of my favorite poems, and I remember it from this one part of a line:

"Boys, a path!"

When You Are Satisfied a.k.a. FUDGE MONKEY!!!

Winter has come early this year.
I didn't expect it so damn soon.
No wood for the fire and my axe is dull.

Talk to me of rainbows and puppies and violets.
The sun shines warm on dried grass and ivory fences.
Get up! Smile! Everything is just shiny.
