Twas near the close of the dying year	A
And December s winds blew cold and drear	A
Driving the snow and sharp blinding sleet	B
In gusty whirls through square and street	B
Shrieking more wildly and fiercely still	C
In the dreary grave yard that crowns the hill	C
	-
No mourners there to sorrow or pray	A
But soon a traveller passed that way	A
He paused and leant against the low stone wall	D
While sighs breathed forth from the pine trees tall	D
That darkly look down on the silent crowd	E
Of graves all wrapped in a snowy shroud	E
	-
Solemn and weird was the spectral scene	F
The tombstones white with low mounds between	F
The awful stillness eerie and dread	G
Brooding above that home of the dead	G
While Christmas fires lit up each hearth	H
And shed their glow upon scenes of mirth	I
	-
Silent the weary wayfarer stood	J
The spot well suited his pensive mood	K
And severed friendships bright day dreams flown	L
Thronged on his thoughts in that moment lone	L
Yes happiness hope he murmured low	M
All buried alike beneath the snow	M
	-
O for the right to lay down the load	N
I ve borne so long on life s dreary road	N
Heavily weighing on heart and brain	O
And as galling to both as a convict s chain	O
No more its strain shall I tamely bear	A
But join the peaceful sleepers there	A
	-
His head on the old wall drooped more low	M
Whilst faster came down the sleet and snow	M
Sharply chilling the blood in his veins	P
Racking his frame with rheumatic pains	P
No matter he thought I ll soon lie low	M
Calm quiet enough beneath the snow	M
	-
Ah hapless one thus thine arms to yield	Q
When nearly won perchance is the field	Q
After long struggling to lose at last	R
The price of many a victory past	R
Of many an hour of keen sharp strife	S
Mournfully spent in the war of Life	S
	-
But hark on high sound the Christmas bells	T
Of hope to that mourner their chiming tells	T
Of the sinless hours of childhood pure	A
Of a God who came all griefs to cure	A
And leaving he prayed O my Father and Friend	U
Grant me strength to be faithful to the end	U
