Let\u2019s not wait any longer,
\nlet\u2019s hang out the washing!
\nVoices of doubt say: \u2018But you\u2019re almost
\ndrowning in snow\u2019.
\nVoices of caution say: \u2018Not even the birds
\nare out today\u2019.
\nThe trees are stark naked
\nand will remain so
\nfor a long, long, time.<\/p>\n

We, the optimists say: \u2018Look
\nhow bright our clothes are
\nagainst the snow\u2019.
\nIf we hang out the washing,
\nthen the Wind will come.
\nIf we hang out the washing,
\nthe Sun will surely come,
\nbecause the Wind and Sun
\nlike to play Hide and Seek,
\nespecially in Winter.<\/p>\n
