Yet every year is much the sane And every season has its name; • Winter and springtime, summer, fall,• The Weatherman .know,!, what's hest for all. Sometimes we- hear good people say, Oh isn't this a horrid day; And this is wrong, es wrong can - be, The Man in charge loves you and me. We're all complainers more or less, We think too much of self, 1 '•u Css ; The Weatherman thinks of us all. In winter, springtime, summer, fall. I heard a saintly preacher say, One stormy, stormy wintry day, •Do not find fault with the weather, Smile and get along together. If we had winter for one year, Or any season mentioned here, This prayer would earnestly be said, Give us this day our daily breaal. The seasons are so well arranged, They never, never have been
