| Hard and cold and small of all hearts the worst of all | B |

| What would I give for words if only words would come | C |
| But now in its misery my spirit has fallen dumb | C |
| O merry friends go your way I have never a word to say | D |

| To wash the black mark clean and to thaw the frost of years | F |
| To wash the stain ingrain and to make me clean again | G |
