MARCH WIND

March can be a windy month in Britain!  Do you know this British nursery rhyme?

The March wind doth* blow
and we shall have snow
and what will the robin do then, poor thing?
He'll sit in the barn
to keep himself warm
and hide his head under his wing, poor thing.


*doth - an archaic form of "does".

In some versions of the poem, the word "north" replaces the word "March".
