From out the cold, the year began
As snow did cover all the land
We huddled close to friends and kin
To stop the cold from coming in
Then spring arrived to fill the land
With life so new, and treasures grand
So great the paths there were to tread
And many wonders lay ahead
And to the fields some friends did go
With seeds to plant and crops to grow
And others went to walk the bounds
To keep the Shire all safe and sound
