Winter days, winter days,  
Winter days, winter days,
Cold and pale the sun's long rays,  
Cold and pale the sun's long rays,
Past birds' sweet lays,  
Past birds' sweet lays,
Oh, winter days, Cold and bleak winter days.  
Oh, winter days, Cold and bleak winter days.


Black frowning clouds enshroud the sky,  
Black frowning clouds enshroud the sky,
The hollow wind goes wailing by,  
The hollow wind goes wailing by,
The tempest in discordant strains,  
The tempest in discordant strains,
Mutters and mourns along the plains,  
Mutters and mourns along the plains,


The swollen river rushes on,  
The swollen river rushes on,
The glory of the earth is gone,
The glory of the earth is gone,
Oh, winter days.  
Oh, winter days.


The voices of the summer days,  
The voices of the summer days,
The blooming flow'rs, the songsters' lays,  
The blooming flow'rs, the songsters' lays,
The fresh green fields, the sun's warm rays,
The fresh green fields, the sun's warm rays,
Are mem'ries past, oh, winter days.  
Are mem'ries past, oh, winter days.


The woods are barren, cold and wan,  
The woods are barren, cold and wan,
The glory of the earth is gone,  
The glory of the earth is gone,
The sun's warm rays, the songsters' lays,  
The sun's warm rays, the songsters' lays,
Are mem'ries past, oh, winter days.}}
Are mem'ries past, oh, winter days.}}

Winter days, winter days,
Cold and pale the sun's long rays,
Past birds' sweet lays,
Oh, winter days, Cold and bleak winter days.

Black frowning clouds enshroud the sky,
The hollow wind goes wailing by,
The tempest in discordant strains,
Mutters and mourns along the plains,

The swollen river rushes on,
The glory of the earth is gone,
Oh, winter days.

The voices of the summer days,
The blooming flow'rs, the songsters' lays,
The fresh green fields, the sun's warm rays,
Are mem'ries past, oh, winter days.

The woods are barren, cold and wan,
The glory of the earth is gone,
The sun's warm rays, the songsters' lays,
Are mem'ries past, oh, winter days.
