The wild wind blows,
and the sleepy snows
Lie round the window wearily;
Not a leaf to see
On the bare oak tree,
Only the rooks caw eerily wearily
Only the rooks, the rooks caw eerily, eerily, eerily eerily.
Fallen leaves,
frozen eaves,
Winter weaves round us,
Quaint device
wrought in ice,
Hearth and home bound us.
Fallen leaves,
frozen eaves,
Winter weaves round us,
Quaint device
wrought in ice,
Hearth and home, Hearth and home,
Hearth and home bound us,
Hearth and home bound us.
The clouds without
put the sun to rout,
Birds on the wing flee verily;
But for kith and kin
the good fire within
Carols and chatters merily
Verily Carols and chatters, and chatters merri-merrily, merrily merrily.
Fire and friend,
Heaven send,
Winter lend pleasure!
Round the hall
one and all
Tread we the measure!
Fire and friend,
Heaven send,
Winter lend pleasure!
Round the hall
one and all
Tread we tread we, tread we the measure!
Tread we the measure!
Then wild wind blow,
and be welcome snow;
Never a heart beats drearily
Nor a jot care we,
if the stout old tree
Pile up the furnace cheerily!
Drearily Pile up the furnace, the furnace cheerily, cheerily, cheerily, cheerily.
Summer brings
other things
On her wings hither
Winter nights,
home delights,
Never shall wither!
Summer brings other things,
On her wings hither!
Winter nights,
home delights,
Never, never never shall wither!
Never shall wither,
Home delights
Never shall wither!
