And oh, beautiful flakes,
The time now draws near;
But alas, see the earth,
How dark and how drear!
And on Christmas morning,
Why, do you not know,
The earth must be covered
All over with snow?
Then the little flake said,
With a brave bright air,
"I\'m
       going
                   to
                        get
                               ready
                                          and
                                                  go
                                                          down
                                                                      there!\'
