When the Snow Is on the Hill
"When the snow is on the ground,"
Girls and boys come with a bound,
Bringing out their shiny sleds,
Cheeks aglow and tousled heads.
See the throng on big bob-sleigh—
Pilot shouts "Git out the way!"
"Hold up feet and hang on tight,
Shet your mouth with all yer might."
"Give a push," then down they scoot
Like a falling parachute.
But ere they are down the hill
Track is jumped—all get a spill!
There were hats and caps and arms;
Laughter loud supplied its charms.
Rosy cheeks and snowy hair;
All enjoy'd the frosty air.
