LITTLE Eskimo, are you
Glad you live in your igloo?
I would spend the snowy day
Thinking thoughts of far away,
If I were you
In your igloo—
Here the houses are so tall
People need not creep at all—
When you creep in, Eskimo,
Do you find it pleasant, so?
Little Eskimo, do you
Play with snow the long year through,
Make a summer-snow-man, too?
You have never been at play
In a wagon full of hay,
Romped about in meadow flowers
All the long vacation hours,
Little Eskimo, would you
Like to live in our land, too?
