1 Down from the hills and over the snow <br />2 Swift as a meteor's flash we go, <br />3 Toboggan! Toboggan! Toboggan! <br />4 Down from the hills with our senses lost, <br />5 Jealous of cheeks that are kissed by the frost, <br />6 Toboggan! Toboggan! Toboggan! <br /> <br />7 With snow piled high on housetop and hill, <br />8 O'er frozen rivulet, river, and rill, <br />9 Clad in her jacket of sealskin and fur, <br />10 Down from the hills I'm sliding with her, <br />11 Toboggan! Toboggan! Toboggan! <br /> <br />12 Down from the hills, what an awful speed! <br />13 As if on the back of a frightened steed, <br />14 Toboggan! Toboggan! Toboggan! <br />15 Down from the hills at the rise of the moon, <br />16 Merrily singing the toboggan tune, <br />17 "Toboggan! Toboggan! Toboggan!" <br /> <br />18 Down from the hills like an arrow we fly, <br />19 Or a comet that whizzes along through the sky; <br />20 Down from the hills! Oh, isn't it grand! <br />21 Clasping your best winter girl by the hand, <br />22 Toboggan! Toboggan! Toboggan! <br /> <br />23 Down from the hills and both growing old, <br />24 Down from the hills we are nearing the fold: <br />25 Toboggan! Toboggan! Toboggan! <br />26 Close to the homestead we hear the ring <br />27 Of children's voices that cheerily sing, <br />28 "Toboggan! Toboggan! Toboggan!" <br /> <br />29 Down from the hills and we hear the chime <br />30 Of bells that are ringing out Old Father Time; <br />31 Down from the hills we are riding away, <br />32 Nearing the life with its endless day; <br />33 Toboggan! Toboggan! Toboggan!<br /><br />Benjamin Franklin King<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/toboggan/
