| I hate the wind in the chimney | E |

| Over the chimney the night wind sang | A |
| And chanted a melody no one knew | B |
| And the Children said as they closer drew | B |
| 'Tis some witch that is cleaving the black night through | B |
| 'Tis a fairy trumpet that just then blew | B |
| And we fear the wind in the chimney | E |

| Over the chimney the night wind sang | A |
| And chanted a melody no one knew | B |
| And the Man as he sat on his hearth below | F |
| Said to himself It will surely snow | F |
| And fuel is dear and wages low | F |
| And I'll stop the leak in the chimney | E |

| Over the chimney the night wind sang | A |
| And chanted a melody no one knew | B |
| But the Poet listened and smiled for he | E |
| Was Man and Woman and Child all three | E |
| And said It is God's own harmony | E |
| This wind we hear in the chimney | E |
