Stormy clouds delirious strayingA
Showers of whirling snowflakes whiteB
And the pallid moonbeams waningA
Sad the heavens sad the nightB
Further speeds the sledge and furtherC
Loud the sleighbell's melodyD
Grewsome frightful 'tis becomingA
'Mid these snow fields now to beD
-
Hasten 'That is useless MasterC
Heavier for my team their loadE
And my eyes with snow o'er plasteredF
Can no longer see the roadE
Lost all trace of our directionG
Sir what now The goblins drawH
Us already round in circlesI
Pull the sledge with evil clawH
-
See One hops with frantic gestureC
In my face to grin and hissJ
See It goads the frenzied horsesK
Onward to the black abyssJ
In the darkness like a palingA
One stands forth and now I seeD
Him like walking fire sparklingA
Then the blackness woe is me '-
-
Stormy clouds delirious strayingA
Showers of snowflakes whirling whiteB
And the pallid moonbeams waningA
Sad the heavens sad the nightB
Sudden halt the weary horsesK
Silent too the sleighbells whirrC
Look What crouches on the ground thereC
'Wolf or shrub I know not Sir '-
-
How the wind's brood rage and whimperC
Scenting blow the triple teamL
See One hops here Forward DriverC
How his eyes with evil gleamL
Scarce controllable the horsesK
How the harness bells resoundM
Look With what a sneering grimaceN
Now the spirit band surroundM
-
In an endless long processionG
Formless countless of their kindO
Circle us in flying coveysN
Like the leaves in Autumn windO
Now in ghastly silence deathlyD
Now with shrilling elfin cryC
Is it some mad dance of bridalP
Or a death march passing byC
-
Stormy clouds delirious strayingA
Showers of snowflakes whirling whiteB
And the pallid moonbeams waningA
Sad the heavens sad the nightB
Cloudward course the evil spiritsN
In unceasing phantom bandsN
And their moaning and bewailingA
Grip my heart with icy handsN
