Gentleman Winter has been banished
The hog of the ground waves him away
He's packed up his belongings and children
Snow, Flakes, Ice, and Cold, all leave
Gentlewoman Spring
In her orchid-laden dress
Flaps her regal hand at us
While strutting through our town
People all around me
Grow hoarse from cheering
For Gentlewoman Spring is finally here
But I know the truth
Spring goes about her work
Breathing life in the dead
Leaves, trees, and flowers
While leaving tombstones to rot
Gentlewoman Spring
Has a courtier at her door
Mr. Summer has come
Now is the true test
The Sun becomes brighter
Kills all the plants and animals
In its fury
Mr. Summer is too busy to care
Gentlewoman Spring seethes with rage
She abandons Summer
Abandons us
Finally, Winter, with his children in tow
Rushes behind Fall
And stands before Summer
In all his majesty
They turn the tables
On Summer and Spring
And banish them into exile
While people cheer again
And so the cycle
Continues on
Day and Night, Day and Night
And I know the truth
