Wrap: Winter

Stoke up the fires
And close all the doors
This heat has to last us all day.

Put on your shawls
He says to the women
Put on your jackets, to the men

Outside the snow falls
Outside the old man falls
Slipped on the ice.

Now the ice has melted
The snow is slush
The shawls are all put away

The jackets removed,
One's placed over the man
Found out on the ice, cold.
