Then she puffed¹ out her cheeks
And began to blow;
She whistled up high,
And she whistled down low;
And she blew, till the tree tops
Went to and fro.
She whistled and blew
Till the air was clear,
But the snowflakes pretended
They did not hear,
And each nestled down
In its chosen retreat,
To wait for the click
Of the reindeer's feet.
