Winter.



Winter.

Cold, cold, cold!
Snow in the field and the fold,
Snow in the wood and snow in the air
In the sky, snow everywhere!


Snow, snow, snow!
White world where ever we go
Snow on the roof, and snow in the lane,
And against the window pane!


Bright, bright, bright.
The fire light and candle-light
A beacon to those who are out in the snow
To show them the way to go!


Dear, dear, dear!
The last chill days of the year!


When holly gleams in church and in hall
In the Christmas festival!


Sweet, sweet, sweet!
The Christmas when old friends meet
When in hall and cottage all voices say:
“May God bless our Christmas Day.”
