In the gruesome night and the wintry weatherA
I watched two dear friends dieB
And I buried them both in one grave togetherA
Oh who is so sad as IB
For the old love and the old yearC
They both have passed awayD
And I never can find the old cheerC
Come what will or mayD
-
I heard the bell in the tall church steepleE
Clang out a joyful strainF
And I thought 'Of all the great world's peopleE
I have the bitterest pain '-
For the old year was a good yearC
And the old love was sweetG
And how could my heart hold any cheerC
When both lay dead at my feetG
-
Life may smile and the skies may brightenH
Winter will pass with its snowsI
Grief will wane and the burden lightenH
And June will come with the roseI
But it cannot bring the old cheerC
To fill my empty breastJ
For the old year was the one yearC
And the old love was bestJ
