And what will ye hear my daughters dear	A
Oh what will ye hear this night	B
Shall I sing you a song of the yuletide cheer	A
Or of lovers and ladies bright	B
	-
Thou shalt sing they say for we dwell far away	C
From the land where fain would we be	D
Thou shalt sing us again some old world strain	E
That is sung in our own countrie	A
	-
Thou shalt mind us so of the times long ago	F
When we walked on the upland lea	D
While the old harbor light waxed faint in the white	B
Long rays shooting out from the sea	D
	-
While lambs were yet asleep and the dew lay deep	G
On the grass and their fleeces clean and fair	A
Never grass was seen so thick nor so green	H
As the grass that grew up there	A
	-
In the town was no smoke for none there awoke	I
At our feet it lay still as still could be	D
And we saw far below the long river flow	F
And the schooners a warping out to sea	D
	-
Sing us now a strain shall make us feel again	J
As we felt in that sacred peace of morn	K
When we had the first view of the wet sparkling dew	L
In the shyness of a day just born	K
	-
So I sang an old song it was plain and not long	M
I had sung it very oft when they were small	N
And long ere it was done they wept every one	O
Yet this was all the song this was all	N
	-
The snow lies white and the moon gives light	B
I'll out to the freezing mere	A
And ease my heart with one little song	M
For none will be nigh to hear	A
And it's O my love my love	P
And it's O my dear my dear	A
It's of her that I'll sing till the wild woods ring	Q
When nobody's nigh to hear	A
	-
My love is young she is young is young	R
When she laughs the dimple dips	S
We walked in the wind and her long locks blew	L
Till sweetly they touched my lips	S
And I'll out to the freezing mere	A
Where the stiff reeds whistle so low	F
And I'll tell my mind to the friendly wind	T
Because I have loved her so	F
	-
Ay and she's true my lady is true	L
And that's the best of it all	N
And when she blushes my heart so yearns	U
That tears are ready to fall	N
And it's O my love my love	P
And it's O my dear my dear	A
It's of her that I'll sing till the wild woods ring	Q
When nobody's nigh to hear	A
