They're sleighing in the Berkshires Have harnessed up old Ned; The hardened snowy surface makes A very smooth road bed. They're skating up York state way On rivers and also lakes, Skimming, gliding down the ice, What a picture it makes! They're skiing at the Swiss resorts, Sun glistening on snow white mass; Leaping like deer from slope to slope Plumb into mountain pass. Everywhere they're deep in sports Where there's lot of snow; , But just the same and for all that I'd love to see it go.
