See, Charlie, out there, by the elm tree,The snow has been eddying round,And has made, for our winter snow-house,A broad and beautiful mound.Come, Charlie, bring out your shovel,And soon we will let them seeHow nice, how snug, and how cosy,Our winter palace can be.The door shall be arched and lofty,The room within shall be round;And we’ll have a fireplace and chimney,And a carpet of straw for the ground.Then we’ll have a magnificent party,And all our friends receive,With chestnuts, popped corn, and candy,On Christmas or New Year’s eve.The Merrys all shall be invited,Around our board to sit;They with our house will be delighted,And we’ll enjoy their wit.
