Send the old cod-fish[[8]] whizzing around,
And thrash the trees till they bend to the ground;
Blow up, and blow down—blow in and blow out—
Blow sideways, and crosswise, and blow all about;
But you can’t start our house—it’s as firm as a rock;
Willie and I only laugh at the shock.
So blow, wind, blow!
Over the ice and over the snow,
Blow—blow—blow!
And when you are done, then go—go—go!
