THE FIRST SNOW STORM, by NATHALIA CRANE First Line: The very first snow of the year, mama Last Line: Around in my underclothes. Subject(s): Mothers & Daughters; Snow | ||||||||
THE very first snow of the year, Mama, And the drifts must be ten feet high; So I've come home to get dry, Mama, And this is the reason why: We were on our way from school, Mama, Betty and Margie and Nan, When someone gave us a terrible push And into a drift we ran. And we sat down in the snow, Mama, It wasn't as cold as you'd think; And we thought we would sit for a while, Mama. And we did, till we grew quite pink. I feel that my shoes are wet, Mama, And I fear the same for my hose: And I fancy I'm rather damp, Mama, Around in my underclothes. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BRIGHT SUN AFTER HEAVY SNOW by JANE KENYON SNOW FALLING THROUGH FOG by WILLIAM MATTHEWS THE SNOW FAIRY by CLAUDE MCKAY NOT ONLY ESKIMOS by LISEL MUELLER |
