'Tis a hardy day!

Day by day

The sun's broad beam

Fades away

By a golden gleam;

- Hark on the cliff

How the sea-gulls scream!

Eve by Eve

The wind, more drear,

Stays to grieve

That the winter's near;

- Hark how the crisp leaves

Dart and fleer!

Get you out

Your muffler grey,

Your boots so stout,

And your great-coat, pray,

And put on your gloves,

- 'Tis a hardy day!

From 'The Way to Winter' by James Stephens (Irish. 1880 - 1950).
