Oh the dying leaves | B |
Like a drizzling rain | C |
Falling round the roof | D |
Pattering on the pane | C |
Frosty Age and cold cold World | A |
Ghosts of other days | E |
Trooping past the faded fire | F |
Flit before the gaze | E |
Now the wind goes soughing wild | G |
O'er the whistling Earth | H |
And we front a feeble flame | I |
Sitting round the hearth | J |
Sitting by the fire | F |
Watching in its glow | K |
Ghosts of other days | E |
Trooping to and fro | K |

Oh the nights the nights we've spent | L |
Sitting by the fire | F |
Cheerful in its glow | K |
Twenty summers back | M |
Twenty years ago | K |
If the days were days of toil | N |
Wherefore should we mourn | O |
There were shadows near the shine | P |
Flowers with the thorn | O |
And we still can recollect | Q |
Evenings spent in mirth | H |
Fragments of a broken life | R |
Sitting round the hearth | J |
Sitting by the fire | F |
Cheerful in its glow | K |
Twenty summers back | M |
Twenty years ago | K |

Beauty stooped to bless us once | S |
Sitting by the fire | F |
Happy in its glow | K |
Forty summers back | M |
Forty years ago | K |
Words of love were interchanged | Q |
Maiden hearts we stole | T |
And the light affection throws | U |
Slept on every soul | T |
Oh the hours went flying past | Q |
Hours of priceless worth | H |
But we took no note of Time | V |
Sitting round the hearth | J |
Sitting by the fire | F |
Happy in its glow | K |
Forty summers back | M |
Forty years ago | K |

Gleesome children were we not | Q |
Sitting by the fire | F |
Ruddy in its glow | K |
Sixty summers back | M |
Sixty years ago | K |
Laughing voices filled the room | W |
Oh the songs we sung | X |
When the evenings hurried by | Y |
When our hearts were young | X |
Pleasant faces watched the flame | I |
Eyes illumed with mirth | H |
And we told some merry tales | Z |
Sitting round the hearth | J |
Sitting by the fire | F |
Ruddy in its glow | K |
Sixty summers back | M |
Sixty years ago | K |

Barren Age and withered World | Q |
Oh the dying leaves | B |
Like a drizzling rain | C |
Falling round the roof | D |
Pattering on the pane | C |
Frosty Age and cold cold World | Q |
Ghosts of other days | E |
Trooping past the faded fire | F |
Flit before the gaze | E |
Now the wind goes soughing wild | Q |

And we front a feeble flame | I |
Sitting round the hearth | J |
Sitting by the fire | F |
Watching in its glow | K |
Ghosts of other days | E |
Trooping to and fro | K |
