WHAT THE WINDS BRING.



RICH is the wind that brings the cold?

The north-wind, Freddy, and all the snow;

And the sheep will scamper into the fold

When the north begins to blow.

Which is the wind that brings the heat?

The south wind, Katy; and corn will grow,'

And peaches redden for you to eat,

When the south begins to blow.

Which is the wind that brings the rain?

The east-wind, Arty; and farmers know

That cows come shivering up the lane

.

When the east begins to blow.

Which is the wind that brings the flowers?

The west-wind, Bessy; and soft and low

The birdies sing in the summer hours

When the west begins to blow.
