Winter Wonderland a Carol

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening,

In the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight,
We're happy tonight,
Walking in a winter wonderland.

Gone away is the bluebird,
Here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song,
As we go along,
Walking in a winter wonderland.

In the meadow we can build a snowman,
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say: Are you married?

We'll say: No man,

But you can do the job

When you're in town.


Later on, we'll conspire,

As we dream by the fire

To face unafraid,

The plans that we've made,

Walking in a winter wonderland.


In the meadow we can build a snowman

And pretend that he's a circus clown

We'll have lots of fun with mister snowman

Until the other kids knock him down


When it snows, ain't it thrilling,
Though your nose gets a chilling
We'll frolic and play, the Eskimo way,
Walking in a winter wonderland.

I chose this song because it is one of my favorite Christmas carols and it describes winter beautifully. I love the simple, bright and festive lyrics. I also like how the song looks just as good as a poem too. This fit well into my theme of seasons as it is talking about winter.
