Six weeks more of cold there’ll be. So on February the first, 1 started. Long ’fore the sun the clouds had parted. An’ hid by de Groundhog’s hole. All ready wit a great long pole. I sat, and sat, and sat some more But dat Grounhog never left his door. When the sun sank beyond the snow Leavin’ a bright and rosy glow. 1 thinks, “It will be safe to leave, Dat Groundhog slept all day, 1 believe.” Suddenly 1 stopped and my breath came no more For de tracks of de Groundhog led out his backdoor!
