Rain, Wind, and Snow

Do you see the dropping rain,

Pitter-patter on the pane?

How it runs along the street!

And it wets our little feet;

But it makes the green grass grow,

And the tiny streamlets flow.

Listen to the wintry blast

Moaning, shrieking, howling past,

Striking with tremendous force

Rocks and forests in its course;

But it blows the windmills strong,

And it sends big ships along.

Watch the pretty snowflakes fall,

Some are large and some are small;

Look, they cover all the ground,

Miles of dazzling white around;

But this covering, I am told,

Keeps the earth from frost and cold.
