Then the little lambs is playin on a caperin around,an the first blue Johnny-junAp-ups is a peepin thro the ground,Hn the thawed-out l)rancl\ flows happy—kinder singin in a tl\c dyin days uv winter, long in sugar-nrakin tinie. Everthing both dead an livin, twixt the earth an sky above,Seems so smilln an so pleasin like it all had fell in love;So fur me, this side uv heaven, there cant be no fairer the dyin days uv winter, long in sugar-MAakin time. riJCD LDOH
