First Line: In the winter time we go
Last Line: Where it is the children go.
Subject(s): Snow; Winter
(1)
In the winter time we go
Walking in the fields of snow;
Where there is no grass at all;
Where the top of every wall,
Every fence, and every tree,
Is as white as white can be.
(2)
Pointing out the way we came,
-- Every one of them the same --
All across the fields there be
Prints in silver filigree;
And our motners always know,
By the footprints in the snow,
Where it is the children go.
