Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD AEAEFGFG DEDEEHEH IIIIGIGI DDDDDBDB ABABCDCDOnce again my songs I sing thee | A |
Now the spell is broken | B |
Brothers yet again I bring thee | A |
Songs of love the token | B |
Of my joy and of my sorrow | C |
Gladly sadly bringing | D |
Summer not a song would borrow | C |
Winter sets me singing | D |
- | |
O when life turns sad and lonely | A |
When our joys are dead | E |
When are heard the ravens only | A |
In the trees o'erhead | E |
When the stormwind on the bowers | F |
Wreaks its wicked will | G |
When the frost paints lying flowers | F |
How should I be still | G |
- | |
When the clouds are low descending | D |
And the sun is drowned | E |
When the winter knows no ending | D |
And the cold is crowned | E |
When with evil gloom oppressed | E |
Lie the ruins bare | H |
When a sigh escapes the breast | E |
Takes us unaware | H |
- | |
When the snow wrapped mountain dreams | I |
Of its summer gladness | I |
When the wood is stripped and seems | I |
Full of care and sadness | I |
When the songs are growing still | G |
As in Death's repose | I |
And the heart is growing chill | G |
And the eyelids close | I |
- | |
Then O then I can but sing | D |
For I dream her coming | D |
May sweet May I see her bring | D |
Buds and wild bee humming | D |
Through the silence heart appalling | D |
As I stand and listen | B |
I can hear her song birds calling | D |
See her green leaves glisten | B |
- | |
Thus again my songs I sing thee | A |
Now the spell is broken | B |
Brothers yet again I bring thee | A |
Of my love the token | B |
Of my joy and of my sorrow | C |
Gladly sadly bringing | D |
Summer not a song would borrow | C |
Winter sets me singing | D |
