Winter Wonderland : Lyrics

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening, 
In the lane, snow is glistening 
A beautiful sight, 
We're happy tonight. 
Walking in a winter wonderland. 

Gone away is the bluebird, 
Here to stay is a new bird 
He sings a love song, 
As we go along, 
Walking in a winter wonderland. 

In the meadow we can build a snowman, 
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown 

He'll say: Are you married? 
We'll say: No man, 
But you can do the job 
When you're in town. 

Later on, we'll conspire, 
As we dream by the fire 
To face unafraid, 
The plans that we've made, 
Walking in a winter wonderland. 

In the meadow we can build a snowman, 
And pretend that he's a circus clown 
We'll have lots of fun with mister snowman, 
Until the alligators knock him down. 

When it snows, ain't it thrilling, 
Though your nose gets a chilling 
We'll frolic and play, the Eskimo way, 
Walking in a winter wonderland. 

Poems

A Chubby Little Snowman

A chubby little snowman
Had a carrot nose
Along came a rabbit
And what do you suppose?
That hungry little bunny,
Looking for his lunch,
ATE the snowman's carrot nose...
Nibble, nibble, CRUNCH!

The Snow Man

One must have a mind of winter
To regard the frost and the boughs
Of the pinetrees crusted with snow;

And have been cold a long time
To behold the junipers shagged with ice,
The spruces rough in the distant glitter

Of the January sun; and not to think
Of any misery in the sound of the wind,
In the sound of a few leaves,

Which is the sound of the land
Full of the same wind
That is blowing in the same bare place
For the listener, who listens in the snow,
And, nothing himself, beholds
Nothing that is not there and the nothing that is.

Wallace Stevens
