Original Verse
LIFE ON THE FARM. When I get up in the morning, I milk the cow And feed the horses To work in the plough. I feed the sheep And give the cow some hay And, when my work is finished, I have a little play. I take the dog To catch a rabbit or two, And bring them home to mother To make a nice big stew. —2 marks to Harry Smith (8), Glencoe. THE WIND. Tell me, Wind, where do you go? I go to the west to blow, blow, blow. I blew the children’s hats from their heads And make them stop, with colds, in their beds. I blow and blow the clothing dry, By blowing it all up very high. I walk on the waters and whirl the mills, And talk to myself on the top of the hills. —3 marks to Cousin Betty Holmes (9), Dunedin.
