Moscow in Winter

Troikas and snow
Moskva covered in ice
The lights of St Basil’s glow
Moscow in Winter hold you in a vice

The Arbat market draws you in
Souvenirs, bust of leaders long gone
Moscow in Winter gets under your skin
It’s always like a new Babylon

The seven hills with their rivers and ravines
Inspired many a picture
And every Winter’s day, different scenes
Each offering a new adventure.
