| | From Suggestions FURIOUS little bit of curls | |
| Struggling against the gale! | |
| |
| Mad at God because the wind | |
| Is stronger than her tiny body. | |
| |
| But little girl, | 5 |
| You do not have to! | |
| Turn about, | |
| And let it take you, | |
| Fluttering, laughing, | |
| Over the prairie, | 10 |
| Butterflying through the air. | | | | |
