Rhyme Scheme: ABBABCBC DEEDDFDFWhere are the songs I used to know | A |
Where are the notes I used to sing | B |
I have forgotten everything | B |
I used to know so long ago | A |
Summer has followed after Spring | B |
Now Autumn is so shrunk and sere | C |
I scarcely think a sadder thing | B |
Can be the Winter of my year | C |

Yet Robin sings thro' Winter's rest | D |
When bushes put their berries on | E |
While they their ruddy jewels don | E |
He sings out of a ruddy breast | D |
The hips and haws and ruddy breast | D |
Make one spot warm where snowflakes lie | F |
They break and cheer the unlovely rest | D |
Of Winter's pause and why not I | F |
