Little white feathers, filling the air—

Little white feathers! how came ye there?

"We came from the cloud-birds sailing so high;

They're shaking their white wings up in the sky."

Little white feathers, how swift you go!

Little white feathers, I love you so!

"We are swift because we have work to do;

But hold up your face, and we'll kiss you true."

Oh, where are all the good little girls—

Where are they all to-day?

And where are all the good little boys?

Tell me, somebody, pray.

Safe in their fathers' and mothers' hearts

The girls are stowed away;

And where the girls are, look for the boys—

Or so I've heard folk say.
