PTS Elective English -Grade 11 Four Seasons-March 2022

Four Seasons

Spring is a lovely lady

With flashing eyes of green

Her hair is decked with flowers

Of growing things she’s queen

Summer’s a lively school boy

Who loves the sun and surf

And singng, clowning and prancing

Round the campfire on the turf

Autumn’s hair is golden

As the leaves begin to fall

She enjoys the fruit of the harvest

And the mellow light over all

Winter’s a sleeping giant

Who slumbers long and deep

With slow but sure awakening

Another year to greet
