Winter uses all the blues there are.
      One shade of blue for water, one for ice,
      Another blue for shadows over snow.
      The clear or cloudy sky uses blue twice-
      Both different blues. And hills row after row
      Are colored blue according to how for.
      You know the bluejay's double-blur device
      Shows best when there are no green leaves to show.
      And Sirius is a winterbluegreen star.
      One shade of blue for water, one for ice,
