good Mother Snowbank
Up there in the sky,
Had dropped into a doze¹
As the hours slipped² by;
She awoke with a start,
And looking around,
Not one of her snowflakes
Was anywhere found.
She tip toed
In here,
And she tip toed
Out there,
She turned the clouds over
With greatest of care,
Not a sign of a snowflake
Was seen anywhere.
