"’Tis a dull sight To see the year dying, When winter winds Set the yellow wood sighing: Sighing, O sighing!"
WinterThis winters weather waxeth cold, — Winter
"This winters weather waxeth cold, And frost doth freese on every hill, And Boreas blowes his blasts soe bold That all our cattell are like to spill."

Winter is the coldest and darkest season of the year in temperate and polar climates. It occurs after autumn and before spring, when the hemisphere is oriented away from the Sun as a result of the tilt of Earth's axis. Different cultures define different dates as the start of winter, and some use a definition based on weather.

"Look! the massy trunks Are cased in the pure crystal; each light spray, Nodding and tinkling in the breath of heaven, Is studded with its trembling water-drops, That glimmer with an amethystine light."
WinterQuote
"Last we consider the time of their coming, the season of the year. It was no summer progress. A cold coming they had of it at this time of the year, just the worst time of the year to take a journey, and specially a long journey. The ways deep, the weather sharp, the days short, the sun farthest off, in solsitio brumali, the very dead of winter."
WinterQuote
"Every winter, When the great sun has turned his face away, The earth goes down into a vale of grief, And fasts, and weeps, and shrouds herself in sables, Leaving her wedding-garlands to decay— Then leaps in spring to his returning kisses."
WinterQuote
"Every Fern is tucked and set, Neath coverlet, Downy and soft and warm."
WinterQuote
"Yet all how beautiful! Pillars of pearl Propping the cliffs above, stalactites bright From the ice roof depending; and beneath, Grottoes and temples with their crystal spires And gleaming columns radiant in the sun."
