JANUARY

With merry chimes and merry times We'll greet the new year bright; We'll turn a page that's new in age And try to keep it white. We'll look ahead and never dread The wind in all his whirls, For winter days and winter plays Are good for boys and girls. The wind will blow and drift the snow O'er lakes and frozen rills; But what care we? we'll happy be A-coasting down the hills! We'll build our forts for winter sports, And make a man of snow; And then we'll skate upon the lake, And let the cold wind blow. We like the ice and think it nice, And wish 'twould always tarry; Of all the year we hold most dear The month of January. |

The jolly month of winter time Has called around once more; And Mr. Ground-hog will be out To tell us winter is not o'er. He'll walk about in pig-ship style, And, ere the day is done, He'll freeze his nose and chill his toes And wish he hadn't come. Then soon will come old Valentine With lots of fun to see; He'll have a face that looks like you, And one that looks like me. And next will come a birthday Of one who once was great— We'll dance and shout and all turn out And help to celebrate The birth of one who never lied, And thus he lived until he died— George Washington. |
