Falling Snow
See the pretty snowflakes
Falling from the sky,
On the wall and housetops
Soft and thick 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.Now the bare black bushes,
All look soft and white,
Every twig is laden -
What a pretty sight!
Where else would you like to go in Scotland?
