66 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. Where are your mittens, Helen? "God giveth His snow like wool, Soft and white and beautiful." |
