Year-End Landscape

As the colored lamps are shining, the arrival 
Of Christmas, they are heralding, 
In the streets, where daylight is short, the crouching 
People do to hurry their walking, 
The year end, from the north, the Arctic cold waves
Are persisting and flooding spry.
And already casting a frosty light
The young moon's in the eastern sky.
