Now Are The Cold Winds

Now are the cold winds to stir so swift

The day’s calm air to change

When in its sky will dark clouds drift

Their gloom to constant range,

And then does a storm to gather might

With a rage so far to sweep

To onward rush without respite

With no pause to rest or sleep,

So does an early winter fall

To sun and warmth to flee

With frost and ice to loudly call

To set their firm decree,

And so does this winter become our life

Its chills and damp our ills and strife.
