comes bawling up the hill. To
seek the wooden water trough
she wandered through the gale,
and had her antlers frozen off,
likewise her priceless tail. The

the arctic winds covert and
shrek. without a lick of sense,
And yet | am not woe-begone,
as ! sit by my fire, and ply my
pipe and demijohn, my cork
screw and my Tyre. Though at
my window tempests beat, one
thing I'm thankful for; | do not
have to save the sleet, to help to
win the war. Triulnphantly our
banners wave, the long ordeal is
done we are not asked to pinch
and save, that we may can a
Hun. Some griefs and worries,
be it said. my spirits have at
tackled; my car is frozen in the
shed, the radiator cracked: [
have some fowls which should
provide fresh henfruit by the
key, but they just let their duty
slide-they do not spring an
egg. My stock of coal is get
ting slim. and when for more I
plead, the dealer says, with
visage grim, your stand-off's
gone to seed, But let the
winds Of winter blow! One
thing I'm thankful for !; do not
have to save the snow, that we
may win the war.
