The wind comes softly through the trees
It is a very gentle breeze
The leaves come tumbling to the ground
and now the ground is all brown
All Day we rake and rake and rake
until our back will nearly break
And then one day to our surprise
The snow comes down before our eyes
And they we shovel off the walk
until our back is really broke.
