Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFEEFGCHAAA IJIJKLKKLMCHAAA NINIHOHHOJCPAAA| Have you ever heard the wind go Yooooo | A |
| 'T is a pitiful sound to hear | B |
| It seems to chill you through and through | C |
| With a strange and speechless fear | D |
| 'T is the voice of the night that broods outside | E |
| When folk should be asleep | F |
| And many and many's the time I've cried | E |
| To the darkness brooding far and wide | E |
| Over the land and the deep | F |
| Whom do you want O lonely night | G |
| That you wail the long hours through | C |
| And the night would say in its ghostly way | H |
| Yoooooooo | A |
| Yoooooooo | A |
| Yoooooooo | A |

| My mother told me long ago | I |
| When I was a little tad | J |
| That when the night went wailing so | I |
| Somebody had been bad | J |
| And then when I was snug in bed | K |
| Whither I had been sent | L |
| With the blankets pulled up round my head | K |
| I'd think of what my mother'd said | K |
| And wonder what boy she meant | L |
| And Who's been bad to day I'd ask | M |
| Of the wind that hoarsely blew | C |
| And the voice would say in its meaningful way | H |
| Yoooooooo | A |
| Yoooooooo | A |
| Yoooooooo | A |
| - | |
| That this was true I must allow | N |
| You'll not believe it though | I |
| Yes though I'm quite a model now | N |
| I was not always so | I |
| And if you doubt what things I say | H |
| Suppose you make the test | O |
| Suppose when you've been bad some day | H |
| And up to bed are sent away | H |
| From mother and the rest | O |
| Suppose you ask Who has been bad | J |
| And then you'll hear what's true | C |
| For the wind will moan in its ruefulest tone | P |
| Yoooooooo | A |
| Yoooooooo | A |
| Yoooooooo | A |
