Holisnow

Hail the brave inclement weather
Sudden, sorrowful, and strong
Throwing friends in warmth together
Lest they, mournful, join the throng
Of those destitute of fellows,
Who must travel through the storm
Pushed and pelted by its bellows
Drained and driven, wet unwarm.
No, instead they join in staying
Inside, where all's calm and clear
So by company defraying
Out of season winter's fear.
But to be so they must first
Venture out and brave the worst.
