| To see the year dying | B |
| When winter winds | C |
| Set the yellow wood sighing | B |
| Sighing oh sighing | B |
| - | |
| When such a time cometh | D |
| I do retire | E |
| Into and old room | F |
| Beside a bright fire | G |
| Oh pile a bright fire | G |
| - | |
| And there I sit | H |
| Reading old things | I |
| Of knights and lorn damsels | I |
| While the wind sings | I |
| Oh drearily sings | I |
| - | |
| I never look out | J |
| Nor attend to the blast | K |
| For all to be seen | L |
| Is the leaves falling fast | K |
| Falling falling | B |
| - | |
| But close at the hearth | M |
| Like a cricket sit I | N |
| Reading of summer | G |
| And chivalry | O |
| Gallant chivalry | O |
| - | |
| Then with an old friend | P |
| I talk of our youth | Q |
| How 'twas gladsome but often | R |
| Foolish forsooth | Q |
| But gladsome gladsome | F |
| - | |
| Or to get merry | O |
| We sing some old rhyme | F |
| That made the wood ring again | S |
| In summertime | F |
| Sweet summertime | F |
| - | |
| Then go we to smoking | B |
| Silent and snug | T |
| Nought passes between us | I |
| Save a brown jug | T |
| Sometimes | I |
| - | |
| And sometimes a tear | U |
| Will rise in each eye | N |
| Seeing the two old friends | I |
| So merrily | O |
| So merrily | O |
| - | |
| And ere to bed | V |
| Go we go we | O |
| Down on the ashes | I |
| We kneel on the knee | O |
| Praying together | G |
| - | |
| Thus then live I | N |
| Till 'mid all the gloom | F |
| By heaven the bold sun | R |
| Is with me in the room | F |
| Shining shining | B |
| - | |
| Then the clouds part | W |
| Swallow soaring between | L |
| The spring is alive | X |
| And the meadows are green | L |
| - | |
| I jump up like mad | Y |
| Break the old pipe in twain | Z |
| And away to the meadows | I |
| The meadows again | S |
