| Since Maurice died | B |
| With corniced drift it blocked the lane | C |
| And sheeted in a desolate plain | C |
| The country side | B |
| - | |
| The trees with silvery rime bedight | B |
| Their branches bare | D |
| By day no sun appeared by night | B |
| The hidden moon shed thievish light | B |
| In the misty air | D |
| - | |
| We fed the birds that flew around | B |
| In flocks to be fed | B |
| No shelter in holly or brake they found | B |
| The speckled thrush on the frozen ground | B |
| Lay frozen and dead | B |

| - | |
| We skated on stream and pond we cut | B |
| The crinching snow | E |
| To Doric temple or Arctic hut | B |
| We laughed and sang at nightfall shut | B |
| By the fireside glow | E |
| - | |
| Yet grudged we our keen delights before | F |

| They brought him home 'twas two days late | B |
| For Christmas Day | B |
| Wrapped in white in solemn state | B |
| A flower in his hand all still and straight | B |

| And two days ere the year outgave | H |
| We laid him low | E |
| The best of us truly were not brave | H |
| When we laid Maurice down in his grave | H |
| Under the snow | E |
