As winter approaches and days become short,
Ended are evenings devoted to sport,
Except for the things that can take place indoors;
To see why one only needs take a brief pause,
And think just how many in these northern shores
Finish their work before daylight has gone,
And darkness of night everywhere has moved on,
Covering all, so there's no chance to play
After a person's been working all day.
The long winter nights very simply destroy
The chance for most workers to go and enjoy
Spending their evenings outside in fresh air,
Gaining much exercise while they are there.
They're limited just to the weekends till spring's
Arrived with the much lighter evenings it brings.
