Gone were but the winter cold, | Gone were but the winter cold, | ||
And gone were but the snow, | And gone were but the snow, | ||
I could sleep in the wild woods | I could sleep in the wild woods | ||
Where primroses blow. | Where primroses blow. | ||
Cold 's the snow at my head, | Cold 's the snow at my head, | ||
And cold at my feet; | And cold at my feet; | ||
And the finger of death's at my e'en, | And the finger of death's at my e'en, | ||
Closing them to sleep. | Closing them to sleep. | ||
Let none tell my father | Let none tell my father | ||
Or my mother so dear, | Or my mother so dear, | ||
I'll meet them both in heaven | I'll meet them both in heaven | ||
At the spring of the year. | At the spring of the year. | ||

Gone were but the winter cold,
And gone were but the snow,
I could sleep in the wild woods
Where primroses blow.
Cold 's the snow at my head,
And cold at my feet;
And the finger of death's at my e'en,
Closing them to sleep.
Let none tell my father
Or my mother so dear,
I'll meet them both in heaven
At the spring of the year.
