| 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 |

| 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 |
