Four maidens fair
Spring, Summer,
Fall, and Winter
all impart their beauty
to Mother Earth in turn
Fair Maiden Spring
she is the bearer of rebirth
the season of renewal
whose gentle rains
replenish Mother Earth
and return her to
lush greens, and vibrant
hues of the rainbow
She brings to life
all blossoming flowers
and budding leaves
birds twitter showing
off their young
she renews all, the cycle
of life has begun
Fair Maiden Summer
she is the bearer of growth
the season of youth
with long days
and sultry nights
she is the sun maiden
laughing with
the deepening
greens and golden
rays
She takes Mother Nature
into her prime when
the children of
nature grow to
become strong
perfume scented flowers
trees swaying in the breeze
Fair Maiden Autumn
the bearer of the Harvest
she is the season of reaping
when Mother Earth
reaps all that was sown
the days shorten
and become brisk
The leaves begin
to turn and the
Harvest Moon shines
bright, now is the
time preparations for
sleep after seasons
of growth and play
Fair Maiden Winter
the bearer of death
she is the season of completion
the Ice princess
exhaling her frosty breath
slowing all down
for a final rest
the etchings of time
are truly shown on her face
Barren trees and shriveled flowers
are covered in ice
the ground hard and unyielding
is blanketed in snow
these are the shortest days
and the longest nights
rest for weary Mother Earth
Mother Nature's four daughters
serve their Queen so well
helping her to care
for God's Earth
lending their joy
for His children
to share
