| That light that white that weird uncanny substance we call snow | B |
| Is slowly sifting through the bare branches and ever and anon | B |
| My thoughts sift with the drifting snow and I am full of pale regret | C |
| Yes full of pale regret and other things you know what I mean | B |
| And why Because the snow must go the time has came to part | D |
| Yes it cannot wait much longer like the flakes my thoughts are melting | E |
| 'Tis here 'tis there in fact 'tis everywhere the snow I mean | B |
| Like the thick syrup which covers buckwheat cakes it lies | F |
| - | |
| The man who says he don't regret its passing also lies | F |
| And wilt thou never come again Yes thou ilt never come again Alas | G |
| How well I remember thee 'Twas but yesterday methinks | G |
| When a great daub of snow fell from a nearby housetop | H |
| And when I ventured poor foolish mortal that I was to look | I |
| Caught me fairly in the mouth an awful swat and nearly smothered me | J |
| There is another little trick of thine most lovely snow | B |
| It is but a proof of thine affection to cling around our necks | G |
| But still we swear we cannot help it Snow | B |
| Now it is Skidoo or for you Oh cursed inconstancy of man | B |
