Dishes rattling
On the sled;
Girls are frightened though they go
Safely o'er the ice and snow.
Now they near
The school-house door—
There's the pond
All frozen o'er;
Hear the happy
Children singing,
Through the air
Their voices ringing;
Sliding, skating, merrily, oh!
Swiftly over the ice and snow!
Nell and Sue
Have found a seat,
And have warmed
Their hands and feet;
When the bell
Rings loud and clear,
Leave your sports
Children dear!
Quickly into the school they go,
Merrily leaving the ice and snow.
