THE "SNOWBIRD." 



Harry B. Tierney. 



Child: 



I. 



"Little bird, ;|| 



Have you heard 

 ||.: From the King of Snow? 



From his palace in the sky, 

 Where he dwells alone on high, 

 Does he mean us joy or harm, 

 When he sends the snow and storm? 

 Is there wisdom in my tears, 

 Is there reason in my fears. 

 Tell me. 

 Little bird."

Snow-bird: 



II. 

 "As you know. 

 Birds of snow 

 Love the old Snow King. 

 ||i In the snow storm we delight. 



Messages we bear each night, 

 When the snow is falling fast, j^ 



When the robin's day is past, 

 ^ From our Master, kind old man 



And his happiness we plan. 

 Fear not. 

 He loves man."
