Winter

WINTER

When  icicles  hang  by  the  wall
And Dick the shepherd blows his nail,
If those frozen spears should happen to fall
And miss the solid  milk in pail
And Tom bears logs into the hall,
They might the young man assail.

They  could pierce him  like a  knife
Could be  the end of  poor Tom’s life
