THE SNOWFALL FIGHT.
All through the day from skiaI

The snow has driffted down,
And every boy has watched with
JOY,
In spite of teachers frowin
Till school is DER and Through
the door.
They all come piling out.
And then on high theyy raise the
cry,
The SNOWFALL battle shout.
The books they throw into the
Snow, L
And caps are pulled on tight,
The lines are drawn across the
lawn,
H,urrah for the SNOWFALL fight.
No tree or wall, no fort at all,
No time for things like this,
Each soldier there target fair
That all may hit Or miss.
The balls of white are nodded tight
And hurled like anything.
Across the yard they whistle hard,
And when they hit they sting.
