Roaring winds that rocked the crowA
High in his eyrieB
All night long and to and froA
Swung the cedar and drove the snowA
Out of the North have ceased to blowA
And dawn breaks fieryB
Sing Ho a song of the winter dawnC
When the air is still and the clouds are goneC
And the snow lies deep on hill and lawnC
And the old clock ticks 'Tis time 't is timeD
And the household rises with many a yawnC
Sing Ho a song of the winter dawnC
Sing HoA

Deep in the East a ruddy glowA
Broadens and brightensF
Glints through the icicles row on rowA
Flames on the panes of the farmhouse lowA
And over the miles of drifted snowA
Silently whitensF
Sing Ho a song of the winter skyG
When the last star closes its icy eyeG
And deep in the road the snow drifts lieG
And the old clock ticks ' T is late 't is lateH
And the flame on the hearth leaps red leaps highG
Sing Ho a song of the winter skyG
Sing HoA

-
Into the heav'n the sun comes slowA
All red and frowsyF
Out of the shed the muffled lowA
Of the cattle comes and the rooster's crowA
Sounds strangely distant beneath the snowA
And dull and drowsyF
Sing Ho a song of the winter mornI
When the snow makes ghostly the wayside thornI
And hills of pearl are the shocks of cornI
And the old clock ticks Tick tock tick tockJ
And the goodman bustles about the barnK
Sing Ho a song of the winter mornI
Sing HoA

-
Now to their tasks the farmhands goA
Cheerily cheerilyA
The maid with her pail her cheeks aglowA
And blowing his fist the man with his hoeA
To trample a path through the crunching snowA
Merrily merrilyA
Sing Ho a song of the winter dayL
When ermine capped are the stacks of hayL
And the wood smoke pillars the air with grayL
And the old clock ticks To work lo workM
And the goodwife sings as she churns awayL
Sing Ho a song of the winter dayL
Sing HoA
