. . . But their heavy weights upon the ice, it grieves me to relate,
Were more than it could bear, and so they tumbled in like this!

And hand-in-hand they glided o’er the ice in perfect bliss;

Winter Play!
Winter Sports
The children’s coats are downy white,
And ruddy winter berries bright
Are tam-o’-shanters warm and red
Upon each little golden head.
.
On sleds of holly leaves they coast,
Of silver skates they proudly boast
And snowball fights with tiny forts –
These are their jolly winter sports.

Winter Begins!
Lady Winter
Lady Winter clothed in ermine
On the North Wind gallops in,
Over crystal bridges bright,
Over carpets snowy white.
.
See the North Wind snorting, prancing,
Scare the leaves that, romping, dancing,
Cease their merriment and play
And hurrying, scurrying, run away.

Time Won’t Wait For Me!
“Idle Hands Make Sad Hearts.”
You little bee,
Come play with me,
The sunshine’s warm and clear;
You need not fear
The cold severe,
The winter is not near.
My little maid,
I can’t be stayed,
I must not lose to-day.
For time, you see,
Won’t wait for me,
But sweeps the flowers away.
