An elder girl with auburn hair holds a bunch of primroses, whilst holding the hand of a younger girl with blonde hair who is pointing at daisies strewn on the grass by the Daisy fairy.
April brings the primrose sweet,
Scatters daisies at our feet.

Drawing by Hilda Boswell showing a girl dressed in a blue mac, red trousers and wellies, feeding 3 ducks on a pond/lake. It is raining.
February brings the rain,
Thaws the frozen lake again.

A picture drawn by Hilda Boswell from her “Treasury of Children’s Poetry” of children playing in the snow. Two are rolling a large ball to make a snowman, two others are having a snowball fight. In the distance is a house with its roof covered in snow, and to the left is a snow covered fir tree.
January brings the snow,
Makes our feet and fingers glow.

Little girl in a white frilly party dress with blue sash, looks out of a window with red curtains at the sleet and snow falling outside . At her feet is a black kitten playing with silver tinsel. On the other side of the window is a decorated Christmas tree, surrounded by lots of presents. Drawing by Hilda Boswell from her Treasury of Poetry, one of my favourite ever books.
Chill December brings the sleet,
Blazing fire, and Christmas treat.
