Mother Goose: Weather and Seasons

Traditional

Rain

Rain, rain, go away,
Come again another day;
Little Johnny wants to play.

Doctor Foster

Doctor Foster went to Glo'ster,
  In a shower of rain;
He stepped in a puddle, up to his middle,
  And never went there again.

One Misty Moisty Morning

One misty moisty morning,
  When cloudy was the weather,
I chanced to meet an old man,
  Clothed all in leather.
He began to compliment
  And I began to grin.
How do you do? And how do you do?
  And how do you do again?

A Sunshiny Shower

A sunshiny shower
Won't last half an hour.

March Winds

March winds and April showers
Bring forth May flowers.

The Winds

Mister East gave a feast;
Mister North laid the cloth;
Mister West did his best;
Mister South burnt his mouth
Eating cold potato.

Winter

Cold and raw the north wind doth blow,
Bleak in the morning early;
All the hills are covered with snow,
And winter's now come fairly.

When the Snow Is on the Ground

The little robin grieves
  When the snow is on the ground,
For the trees have no leaves,
  And no berries can be found.

The air is cold, the worms are hid;
  For robin here what can be done?
Let's strow around some crumbs of bread,
  And then he'll live till snow is gone.

Sunshine

Hick-a-more, Hack-a-more,
On the King's kitchen door,
All the King's horses,
And all the King's men,
Couldn't drive Hick-a-more, Hack-a-more,
Off the King's kitchen door.

The First of May

The fair maid who, the first of May,
Goes to the fields at break of day,
And washes in dew from the hawthorn-tree,
Will ever after handsome be.
