| Like January weather | C |
| The years will bite and smart | D |

| To wrap your chattering heart | D |

| The bright imperious line | G |
| And split your throat on laughter | C |
| And burn your eyes with brine | G |

| You will be frail and musty | H |
| With peering furtive head | I |
| Whilst I am young and lusty | H |
| Among the roaring dead | I |
