The snow falls soft and thick My cedar bough	A
Sways up and down and scratches on the glass	B
The wind sighs in the chimney as I sit	C
With elbows on my knees before the fire	D
Resting a crumpled chin in hollow'd palms	E
	-
There is great trouble in the cold and dark	F
And other girls shrink off and steal away	G
To crouch in lonely rooms and look at fires	H
And look at their dead joys and living griefs	H
But they are pitied None would pity me	I
	-
Friends come to seek them and lay tender hands	H
On their bow'd heads and sore and restless hearts	H
They find the wound and drop the healing oil	J
They lift the burden off or make it light	K
But they would smile unless they laugh'd at mine	L
	-
O still warm fire you will not bubble up	M
In mocking flames your heart will soon be cold	N
O wind for you have seen the roses bloom	O
And the shrunk petals fall and drift away	G
You hear and sob and sigh as you go past	P
	-
Is unrequited love so sad a thing	Q
Ay ay but this is even sadder still	R
To want to love and not to have the power	D
To meet your king at last with empty hands	H
To be so young and to have squander'd all	S
	-
Alas alas to know your wine is sour	D
To have loved wrong with love despoil'd of trust	T
Dishonour'd love that mix'd itself with hate	U
To see the pearl of price laid at your feet	V
And know your wealth is gone for dross and lies	H
	-
Ay 'tis the saddest thing to want to love	W
To want to cling when you have lost your strength	X
To feel the ashes choking up the hearth	Y
And think how bright a fire there might have been	Z
To know when you are loved too late too late	U
