The North Wind doth Blow Rhyme

At Lilies school the first graders must recite a poem. Lilie has chosen to do the poem my mother did when she was in first grade. I will get a video of her on here soon.

The North wind doth blow poem
The North wind doth blow
and we shall have snow,
And what will poor robin do then, poor thing?
He'll sit in a barn and keep himself warm
and hide his head under his wing,
poor thing.
