"The Merry Wind"
| |
|
|
| |
1. |
The wind, one gusty morning,
Went blowing thro' the world.
The leaves, the dust, the weathervanes
Right merrily he whirled.
|
| |
|
|
| |
2. |
He rushed to meet the children
And tugged at ev'ry hat.
He shook their clothes, he tossed their hair,
(He likes such tricks as that!)
|
| |
|
|
| |
3. |
He turned their paper windmills,
Their kites on high he sent;
But no one saw the merry wind,
As thro' the world he went.
