Snow
Dance Like Snowflakes (tune of Frère Jacques)
Dance like snowflakes, dance like snowflakes
In the air, in the air
Whirling, twirling snowflakes
Whirling, twirling snowflakes
Here and there, here and there.
Falling Snow
See the pretty snowflakes
Falling from the sky,
On the walk and housetop
Soft and white they lie.
On the window-ledges
On the branches bare,
Now how fast they gather,
Filling all the air.
Look into the garden,
Where the grass was green,
Covered by the snowflakes,
Not a blade is seen.
February Twilight
I stood beside a hill
Smooth with new-laid snow.
A single star looked out
From the cold evening glow.
There was no other creature
That saw what I could see -
I stood and watched the evening star
As long as it watched me.
by Sara Teasdale
First Snow
Snow makes whiteness where it falls.
The bushes look like popcorn balls.
And places where I always play,
Look like somewhere else today.
by Marie Louise Allen
Going, Going, Gone
Going, going, gone,
Your daddy won't be long.
Where did he go?
To shovel the snow.
Going, going, gone.
by Dennis Lee
I'm So Glad It's Snowing (tune of The More We Get
Together)
I'm so glad it's snowing, it's snowing, it's snowing,
I'm so glad it's snowing, tra la la la.
I'll shovel the front yard.
I'll shovel the back yard.
I'm so glad it's snowing,
Tra la la la la.
It is Snowing (to Frère Jacques)
It is snowing, it is snowing
All around, all around
Soft and quiet snowflakes
Soft and quiet snowflakes
Not a sound, not a sound.
Merry Little Snowflakes
Merry little snowflakes
Falling through the air
Resting on the rooftops
And the tall trees everywhere
Covering roofs and fences
Capping every post
Covering the hillside
Where we like to coast
Merry little snowflakes
Do their very best
To make a soft white blanket
So buds and flowers may rest
But when the bright spring sunshine
Says its come to stay
Those merry little snowflakes
Quickly run away.
by Marc Brown
Shh
Shh, be quiet and listen to the snow
It's softly falling down you know
Shh, be quiet and blink your eyes
While white flakes flutter from the skies
by Kay Cooper
Six Little Snowflakes
One little snowflake falls to the ground.
Two little snowflakes spin all around.
Three little snowflakes glitter and glow.
Four little snowflakes drift very slow.
Five little snowflakes fly away.
Six little snowflakes are here to stay.
Snow
The snow fell softly all the night
It made a blanket soft and white
It covered houses, flowers, and ground
But did not make a single sound!
Shhhhh!
Snow
Soft and quiet, soft and slow.
Down it falls, the feathery snow.
Snow
Snow
And warm clothes
And tight boots
Cold crisp air
Stings my nose.
It's quiet
And deep
And gives the houses eyelids.
Silent footprints follow
My crunching feet.
The snow plough comes
And piles up all the snow.
Suddenly,
Hands are so cold, they hurt,
And it's time to go in
To take a warm drink
And a little rest.

Snow
As though pretending to be blooms
The snowflakes scatter in the winter sky.
by Sei Shonagon
Snow
We’ll play in the snow
And stray in the snow
And stay in the snow
In a snow-white park.
We’ll clown in the snow
And frown in the snow
Fall down in the snow
Till it’s after dark.
We’ll cook snow pies
In a big snow pan.
We’ll make snow eyes
In a round snow man.
We’ll sing snow songs
And chant snow chants
And roll in the snow
In our fat snow pants.
And when it’s time
To go home to eat
We’ll have snow toes
On our frosted feet.
by Karla Kuskin
Snow
The snow fell softly all through the night
It made a blanket that was soft and white
It covered the houses, the flowers and ground
But it never made a single sound.
Snow (tune of This Old Man)
Snow is falling on the ground
We can make things all around
Like snowmen, snowballs, snow forts too
There are lots of things to do
Snow is falling come and see
You can have some fun with me
Sliding, skating, skiing too
There are lots of things to do.
Snowbirds
A pure white floats down.
Oh, at that moment
We both hope that happiness
May also be like a white bird,
Quietly descending.
by Lin Ling
Snow Falls on My Shoulders
Snow falls on my shoulders
Snow falls on the ground
Snow falls all around me
Snow makes not a sound.
by Beverly Gower
Snowflakes
Snowflakes look like dainty lace.
I felt three soft upon my face.
I felt two on my chin and lip.
I caught one on my finger tip.
Snowflakes
Snowflakes, snowflakes,
Falling on the ground
Snowflakes, snowflakes,
Falling all around.
I am bundled up to my chin.
See my footprints where I've been.
Snowflakes, snowflakes.
Falling on the ground.
Snowflakes (to Twinkle, Twinkle)
Snowflakes are falling one by one.
Time to play and have some fun.
Build a snowman, snowballs too.
Come and see what you can do.
Snowflakes are falling one by one.
Time to play and have some fun.
Snowflakes (tune of Twinkle Twinkle)
Snowflakes, snowflakes twirl around
Snowflakes, snowflakes falling down
Snowflakes, snowflakes touch my tongue
Snowflakes, snowflakes, my song is fun
Snowflakes, snowflakes, turn around
Snowflakes, snowflakes falling down.
Snowflakes ( to Up On the Housetop)
Snowflakes are falling
On the ground,
On our houses, in our town.
On my nose, and in my hair
Snowflakes are falling everywhere.
Oh, oh, oh! Out we go!
Oh, oh, oh! In the snow!
Making a snowman, sliding too!
There are lots of things to do.
Snowflakes
Snowflakes falling through the air,
Falling, falling, everywhere.
Twisting, turning, floating down
Covering white the noisy town.
Snowflakes
Merry little snowflake
Falling through the air
Resting on the steeple
And tall trees everywhere,
Covering roots and fences
Capping every post
Covering the hillside
Where we like to coast.
Merry little snowflakes
Do their very best
To make a soft, white blanket
So buds and flowers may rest.
But when the bright spring sunshine
Says it's come to stay,
Those merry little snowflakes
Quickly run away.
Snowflakes
Snowflakes are falling by ones and by twos
They fall on my shoulders and on my shoes
They stick to my eyelashes and to my nose
They stick to my mitts and to my clothes
But best of all they stick together
To make the biggest snowballs ever
Snowflakes Falling Down (to Row Your Boat)
Snowflakes falling down,
Falling on the ground.
Great, big white flakes
That do not make a sound.
Snowflakes Falling From the Sky (tune of Mary Had a
Little Lamb)
Snowflakes falling from the sky, from the sky, from the sky
Snowflakes falling from the sky, to the earth below
Watch them as they dance and whirl, dance and whirl, dance
and whirl,
Watch them as they dance and whirl, soft white winter snow.
Snowflakes in Our Town
The clouds are dark
And in our town.
The flakes of snow
Are falling down.
One, two, three -
They're falling fast.
Four, five, six - they'll never last.
Seven, eight, nine -
They are so cold.
Ten, eleven, twelve -
All I can hold.
Snowflake Soufflé
Snowflake soufflé,
Snowflake soufflé,
Makes a lip-smacking lunch
On an ice-cold day.
You take seven snowflakes,
You break seven eggs,
And you stir it seven times
With your two hind legs.
Bake it in an igloo,
Throw it on a plate,
And slice off a slice
With a rusty ice-skate.
by X. J. Kennedy
Snowflakes Whirling
Snowflakes whirling all around,
All around, all around.
Snowflakes whirling all around,
Until they cover all the ground.

Snow Sounds
Snow has a soft and quiet sound
As it comes falling to the ground.
I hear it crunch, I hear it glide
When I go up the hill to slide.
But for the squeakies squeak I know
There's nothing like cold winter's snow.
Surprise
I opened my eyes
And my room was bright,
I wondered what had happened
Outside last night.
I opened the windows
And let everyone know.
The world was covered
With white fluffy snow.
I grabbed my mittens,
My scarf and my suit,
And pulled on my
Brand new winter boots.
I ran outside
And I started to play,
And I hoped that the snow
Was here to stay.
The More It Snows
The more it snows, tiddely-pom
The more it goes, tiddely-pom
The more it goes, tiddely-pom, on snowing.
And nobody knows, tiddely-pom
How cold my toes, tiddely-pom
How cold my toes, tiddely-pom, are growing.
by A.A. Milne
The Snowflake
I think it's fun to open my hand,
And let a tiny snowflake land,
Then I hold it very near,
And watch the snowflake disappear.
Winter
See the snowflakes falling down
Softly, softly to the ground
They make a blanket
Soft and white
To keep the flowers through winter's night.
See the snowflakes on their way.
Twirling, swirling as they play.
Isn't it a pretty sight.
When all the world is dressed in white.
Wintertime Is Here
Have you seen the snowflakes fall,
Falling to the ground?
Have you seen the frost appear,
Wintertime is here.
Have you seen my sled and skates,
Laces white and new.
Have you seen my hat so dear,
Wintertime is here.
Winter walk in forest
All else
is so
perfectly still
my breathing sounds
like gusts of wind
my joints
like frozen branches
cracking.
All around me
invisible animals
must also be listening
But only
to how close
my boots
snap the snow crust
