Are You Erastus Brown?

Hurrah, hurrah! It’s going to snow!”

     Cried little Erastus Brown;

He thought the slide, he thought the ride,

     The happiest boy in town.

Next day he was asked to dig a path –

     His countenance went way down;

“I hate the old snow!” In tones of deep woe,

     Cried little Erastus Brown.
