The Little Snow flakes | 1887 Walker

Описание: ❄️🪽❄️🕊️[Lyrics below] [Norsk under] This sweet little winter song for little children about snow was composed by D. Batchellor, with words by Lucy Larcom. It was first published in "The Tonic Sol-fa Music Course" by Batchellor, Daniel; Charmbury, Thomas, author around 1884. My source is "Songs and games for little ones" by Gertrude Walker and Harriet S. Jenks, published 1887:52 (https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?i....

The illustration is a vintage postcard from the 1930s painted by the Swiss artist Erika von Kager (1890-1975).

Here are the words:

Tiny little snow-flakes,
In the air so high,
Are you little angels,
Floating in the sky?
Robed so white and spotless,
Flying like a dove,
Are you little creatures,
From the world above?

Whirling on the sidewalk,
Dancing in the street,
Kissing all the faces
Of the children sweet,
Loading all the housetops
Powdering all the trees, -
Cunning little snow-flakes,
Little busy bees!

La la la .. repeat

Jeg gjendiktet sangen til norsk den 02.12.2025:

Bitte lille snøflak,
Du flyr høyt i sky,
Er du så en engel,
Som flyr over by?
Hvit og ren, i kjole,
Som en due, fly!
Si meg om du kommer
Fra en himmelsk by.

Virvler på et fortau,
Danser på en vei.
Kysser hvert et ansikt,
Som vil se på deg.
Lander på et hustak
Puddersnø-galei!
Kloke lille snøflak,
Snurrer på sin vei.
