Hard Winter
(ways to tell if it's going to be!)
By Jan Harmon
words and music © 1989
A solo song, a "parts" piece, or a 4-part round.
Words adapted from FOXFIRE + tune.
It'll be a hard winter
if screech-owls sound like women crying.
It'll be a hard winter
if crows gather in trees together.
It'll be a hard winter
if all the pinecones open early.
And the first 12 days after Christmas
tell the next 12 months of weather.
