ONLY ONE MOTHER.

(To be memorized.)

Hundreds of stars

in the silent sky,

Hundreds of shells

on the shore together,

Hundreds of birds

that go singing by,

Hundreds of bees

in the sunny weather;

Hundreds of dewdrops

to greet the dawn,

Hundreds of lambs

in the purple clover,

Hundreds of butterflies on the lawn

But only one mother

the wide world over."

- Selected.

Down we come! Down we come!

Hurry, hurry, flurry, flurry!

Do you know us?

Are we white feathers?

Are we white wool?

No; not feathers and not wool!

We are snowflakes.

Call the little boys!

Call the little girls!

They know us and they like us.

WHAT

PAPA

SAYS.

Come, little boys.

Come, little girls.

Come out of doors!

Do you see the snowflakes?

See how white they are.

See how they fly about.

“Come out, come out, come out,” they say; "Come out, come out, come out to play."

Hurry, boys! Hurry, girls!

WHAT MAMMA SAYS.

Where is Max?

Where is Joe?

Please get little Roger's sled.
We will take Roger out with us.
It does not snow now.

Where are your mittens, Helen?
And where are Anna's mittens?
Where is your cap, Joe?
Roger, let me button your coat.
Do you want to go, too, Sport?
Will you draw Roger's sled?
Button up your coats, children.
All ready, Captain Max?
Now let us go.

"God giveth His snow like wool, Soft and white and beautiful."

Hurrah for the snow! Hurrah!

See how soft it is.

Just right for snowballs!

Just right for a snow man!
