It grioros mo so, you cannot think, Suoh constant snow and wot, I hav'nt a ohanoo to got out«ido But must stop in and fr< • If a moment near tho door I stand To watoh tho snow-flulcoH fall, Somo larrikin will soisw tho chanco To throw at mo a bill. But yesterday, my hair fiiod up Was maclo a perfect wreck, And tho froozing fragments foil, 0, Mifl'-ry ! on my neck. I should so dearly like a walk If I know it would bo fino, And really ns I'm writing tbis Tho Sun boginsto shine. But t'other day it did tho samo, And then tho foe oomo down, And then ! this thiolconing onco ra jro, And hiding of tho town. My wintor drosses that I thought Would so attraotivo bo, And raiso tho question as I passod, My goodness ! who is sho P Will in my box bo gotting old, And out of fashion go, And should I wear thorn aftor this I shall bo rotod slow, Well, woll, I will not givo in thus, Nor lot my spirits droop, Thero'i nomobody who I haro hoard To conquor first did stoop, And if I cannot walk .about And 800 tho folks I know, I'll linvo rovongc, and m iko boliovo, That oyory man's my boau .
