Rhyme Scheme: ABAAABCCCDCCA E AFAAAFGGGHGGA E AFAAAFIIIJKIA G AAAAAALLLMLLARoaring winds that rocked the crow | A |
High in his eyrie | B |
All night long and to and fro | A |
Swung the cedar and drove the snow | A |
Out of the North have ceased to blow | A |
And dawn breaks fiery | B |
Sing Ho a song of the winter dawn | C |
When the air is still and the clouds are gone | C |
And the snow lies deep on hill and lawn | C |
And the old clock ticks 'Tis time 't is time | D |
And the household rises with many a yawn | C |
Sing Ho a song of the winter dawn | C |
Sing Ho | A |

II | E |

Deep in the East a ruddy glow | A |
Broadens and brightens | F |
Glints through the icicles row on row | A |
Flames on the panes of the farmhouse low | A |
And over the miles of drifted snow | A |
Silently whitens | F |
Sing Ho a song of the winter sky | G |
When the last star closes its icy eye | G |
And deep in the road the snow drifts lie | G |
And the old clock ticks ' T is late 't is late | H |
And the flame on the hearth leaps red leaps high | G |
Sing Ho a song of the winter sky | G |
Sing Ho | A |

III | E |
- | |
Into the heav'n the sun comes slow | A |
All red and frowsy | F |
Out of the shed the muffled low | A |
Of the cattle comes and the rooster's crow | A |
Sounds strangely distant beneath the snow | A |
And dull and drowsy | F |
Sing Ho a song of the winter morn | I |
When the snow makes ghostly the wayside thorn | I |
And hills of pearl are the shocks of corn | I |
And the old clock ticks Tick tock tick tock | J |
And the goodman bustles about the barn | K |
Sing Ho a song of the winter morn | I |
Sing Ho | A |
- | |
IV | G |
- | |
Now to their tasks the farmhands go | A |
Cheerily cheerily | A |
The maid with her pail her cheeks aglow | A |
And blowing his fist the man with his hoe | A |
To trample a path through the crunching snow | A |
Merrily merrily | A |
Sing Ho a song of the winter day | L |
When ermine capped are the stacks of hay | L |
And the wood smoke pillars the air with gray | L |
And the old clock ticks To work lo work | M |
And the goodwife sings as she churns away | L |
Sing Ho a song of the winter day | L |
Sing Ho | A |
