You can try to catch snowflakes : o in your warm little hand, But they just seem to melt as soon as they land.

And down in the caves so cold and damp, You need a sweater and a very good lamp.

They're all asleep ~ down in the ground. ~
~ ~
And some people wear furs after the Fall, While out in the jungle they wear no clothes at all. _ And doesn't it seem a little strangeto you, That we blow hot our hands and blow cold our stew? Of things hot and cold there is really too much,
Don't walk with bare feet on the hot sidewalk, Or you'll burn yourself and have to hop! And don't pour hot water
~
in a cold drinking glass,~ Or "crack:' it will break and at that, very fast!

And when someonesuns himself on the deck, Don't suddenly drop something cold down his neck. So children you see there is really a lot, ~

God even said, and so it's been told,
That He'd rather that people be hot or be cold. For those who want to stay lukewarm, Will soon be out in the cold and the storm. ~~~~~ For soon there is coming
~~
a spiritual night, ~ . When God's love, like the sun,

will seem out of sight. And you must keep on shining and doing what's right, To help the cold, frozen people come back to the light.
