Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFE GHGH GIJIKKFK GLMLGKAK| On a stormy night in winter | A |
| When the winds blew cold and wet | B |
| I heard some strains of music | C |
| That I never can forget | B |
| I was sleeping in the cabin | D |
| Where liv'd Mary fair and young | E |
| When a light shone in the window | F |
| And a band of singers sung | E |
| - | |
| We are coming sister Mary | G |
| We are coming bye and bye | H |
| Be ready sister Mary | G |
| For the time is drawing nigh | H |
| - | |
| I tried to tell my Mary | G |
| But my tongue would not obey | I |
| When the song so strange had ended | J |
| And the singers flown away | I |
| As I watch'd I heard a rustling | K |
| Like the rustling of a wing | K |
| And beside my Mary's pillow | F |
| Very soon I heard them sing | K |
| - | |
| Then again I called my Mary | G |
| But my sorrow was complete | L |
| For I found her heart of kindness | M |
| Had forever ceas'd to beat | L |
| And I still am very lonely | G |
| From summer round to spring | K |
| And I oft in midnight slumber | A |
| Think I hear the same ones sing | K |
