Original text and translations
English text
- 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.
- Lyrics: Allan Cunningham - (1784–1842)
