- The games I play are hide-and-go-seek and skipping, and tug-o-war and the four cornered fool, and trance. The games I play in summer are picking whorts, and lilack faeries, and colours, and making a cabby-house, swimming. The games I play in Winter are throwing snow-balls, and making snow-men, and camogie, and snap-apple. The games I play in Spring are open-up-in-high-gates, and see this pretty little girl of mine, and the witch, and the cat and the mouse, and donkey, and rounders, and nuts in May, and the ghost in the garden.
