"The winter cannot hold" carries nice resonance as a sort of inversion of Yeats' famously bleak line "The center cannot hold" (from "The Second Coming").

At first I didn't notice the "extra" unrhymed 15th line (line 9).

The meter is nicely done in this poem.

This stirred my heart so much with the reminder of Christ's return. <3 Thank you! He IS coming back, and all will be set right.
