A SLEIGHING SONG.
Over the snow, over the snow,
Away we go, away we go!
The earth gleams white
'Neath the stars to-night,
And all is bright
Above and below.
Away we go, away we go!
The earth gleams white
'Neath the stars to-night,
And all is bright
Above and below.
Old Care, good-by! old Care, good-by!
From you we fly, from you we fly,—
As if on wings,
Our fleet steed springs,
And the welkin rings
With our joyous cry.
From you we fly, from you we fly,—
As if on wings,
Our fleet steed springs,
And the welkin rings
With our joyous cry.
Gay Mirth is here, gay Mirth is here,
Our hearts to cheer, our hearts to cheer;
While on we glide,
There 's one by our side,
To cheer or to chide,
Who is always dear.
Our hearts to cheer, our hearts to cheer;
While on we glide,
There 's one by our side,
To cheer or to chide,
Who is always dear.

Over the snow, over the snow,
Away we go, away we go!
There's freedom rare
Abroad in the air,
Everywhere,
Above and below.
Away we go, away we go!
There's freedom rare
Abroad in the air,
Everywhere,
Above and below.
