Little White Feathers


Little white feathers,
Filling the air--
Little white feathers,
How came ye there?

"We come 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 snowflakes,
I love you so!

"We are swift because
We have work to do;
But hold up your face,
And we’ll kiss you true'
