Peter Possum and his family are curled up in a warm hollow stump, and the Big Brown Bear is snoring in his cave.
The earth is clad in snow white,
But all the trees are bare.
The farmer reads the almanac
Within his old arm chair.
Good Mrs. Cow safe in the shed
Upon the manger rubs her head,
And if you listen you can tell
How many times she rings her bell.
She never takes her collar off
