He rests all the winter long
Beneath an icy cap of snow
Silently he keeps watch
Over all the slumbering creatures
Burrowed beneath his sheltering thatch
Spring melt wakes his green grasses
All over his round old top
Bright colored flowers greet
Young creatures on their first days
Atop the sleepy old bluff
Summer days are greeted by sparkling rain drops
Birds bath in his tiny streams
Dancing along on their journey to the sea
Curious bees visit each flower
While the sleepy old bluff dozes
Twilight shows many curious colors
In the lavish trees, autumn has arrived
Their sweet fruit and hardy nuts
Provide a bounty for the winter burrows
And the sleepy old bluff watches over all
