Rhyme Scheme: ABACACBC ABACACBC ABACA DBC ACAC| Towards the Noel that morte saison | A |
| i Christ make the shepherds' homage dear i | B |
| Then when the grey wolves everychone | A |
| Drink of the winds their chill small beer | C |
| And lap o' the snows food's gueredon | A |
| Then makyth my heart his yule tide cheer | C |
| i Skoal with the dregs if the clear be gone i | B |
| Wineing the ghosts of yester year | C |
| - | |
| Ask ye what ghost I dream upon | A |
| i What of the magians' scented gear i | B |
| The ghosts of dead loves everyone | A |
| That make the stark winds reek with fear | C |
| Lest love return with the foison sun | A |
| And slay the memories that me cheer | C |
| i Such as I drink to mine fashion i | B |
| Wineing the ghosts of yester year | C |
| - | |
| Where are the joys my heart had won | A |
| i Saturn and Mars to Zeus drawn near i | B |
| Where are athe lips mine lay upon | A |
| Aye where are the glances feat and clear | C |
| That bade my heart his valor don | A |
| - | |
| I skoal to the eyes as grey blown meer | D |
| i Who knows whose was that paragon i | B |
| Wineing the ghosts of yester year | C |
| - | |
| Prince ask me not what I have done | A |
| Nor what God hath that can me cheer | C |
| But ye ask first where the winds are gone | A |
| Wineing the ghosts of yester year | C |
