THE NORTH WIND

LYRICS

The north wind shall blow, And we shall have snow.
And what will the poor robin do then, poor thing?
O, he’ll go to the barn. And to keep himself warm
He’ll hide his head under his wing, poor thing.

The north wind shall blow, And we shall have snow.
And what will the swallow do then, poor thing?
O, do you not know, He’s gone long ago
To a country much warmer than ours, poor thing.

The north wind shall blow, And we shall have snow.
And what will the dormouse do then, poor thing?
Rolled up in a ball, In his nest snug and small
He’ll sleep till the winter is past, poor thing.

The north wind shall blow, And we shall have snow.
And what will the children do then, poor things?
O, when the lessons are done, They’ll jump skip and run
And play till they make themselves warm, poor things.
