FROLIC IN THE SNOW

"See the snow! see the snow!
Hear the winter wind blow;
Make the fire burn bright;
Shut the doors up tight;
Let it storm, let it storm;
My Willy shall be warm."
"Dear mother, let me go
And frolic in the snow;
'Tis so soft and so light,
So beautiful and white,
'Twill not hurt me I know;
Let me go, let me go.
"I don't mind the cold;
I am three years old:
Look at little Rover;
He is powdered all over:
Let me go, let me go,
And frolic in the snow.
"I can do what Rover can;
I am your little man;
Let it storm, let it storm;
I don't want to be warm;
Dear mother, let me go,
And frolic in the snow."
