Winter Pleasures.
(“If ever I see.”)
I never will say,
“How cold to-day!”—
And shiver, and shake, and moan;—
The winter has joys
For us, little boys,
We'll sing in a joyous tone.
“How cold to-day!”—
And shiver, and shake, and moan;—
The winter has joys
For us, little boys,
We'll sing in a joyous tone.
There's the quiet slide,
And the glad sleigh-ride,
When the bells are gingling free,
And the merry snow-ball,
And better, than all,
The coasting trade for me.
And the glad sleigh-ride,
When the bells are gingling free,
And the merry snow-ball,
And better, than all,
The coasting trade for me.
But I would not play
Through the cold bleak day;
And how happy it is to go
To the warm school-room,
Or my dear, dear home—
Away from the cold and snow.
Through the cold bleak day;
And how happy it is to go
To the warm school-room,
Or my dear, dear home—
Away from the cold and snow.

So I never will say,
“How cold to-day!”—
And shiver, and shake, and moan—
The winter has joys
For us little boys,
We'll sing in a joyous tone.
“How cold to-day!”—
And shiver, and shake, and moan—
The winter has joys
For us little boys,
We'll sing in a joyous tone.
