A Finger Play for a Snowy Day

I

This is how snowflakes play about,
Up in cloudland they dance in and out.

II

This is how they whirl down the street,
Powdering everybody they meet.

III

This is how they come fluttering down,
Whitening the roads, the fields, and the town.

IV

This is how snowflakes cover the trees,
Each branch and twig bends in the breeze.

V

This is how snowflakes blow in a heap,
Looking just like fleecy sheep.

VI

This is how they cover the ground,
Cover it thickly, with never a sound.

VII

This is how people shiver and shake
On a snowy morning when first they wake.

VIII

This is how snowflakes melt away
When the sun sends out his beams to play.
