:Let us pause in life’s pleasures and count its many tears, | |||
:While we all sup sorrow with the poor; | |||
:There’s a song that will linger forever in our ears; | |||
:Oh Hard times come again no more. | |||
<br> | |||
:Tis the song, the sigh of the weary, | |||
:Hard Times, hard times, come again no more | |||
:Many days you have lingered around my cabin door; | |||
:Oh hard times come again no more. | |||
<br> | |||
:While we seek mirth and beauty and music light and gay, | |||
:There are frail forms fainting at the door; | |||
:Though their voices are silent, their pleading looks will say | |||
:Oh hard times come again no more. | |||
<br> | |||
:There’s a pale drooping maiden who toils her life away, | |||
:With a worn heart whose better days are o’er: | |||
:Though her voice would be merry, ’tis sighing all the day, | |||
:Oh hard times come again no more. | |||
<br> | |||
:Tis a sigh that is wafted across the troubled wave, | |||
:Tis a wail that is heard upon the shore | |||
:Tis a dirge that is murmured around the lowly grave | |||
:Oh hard times come again no more. | |||

English text
- Let us pause in life’s pleasures and count its many tears,
- While we all sup sorrow with the poor;
- There’s a song that will linger forever in our ears;
- Oh Hard times come again no more.
- Tis the song, the sigh of the weary,
- Hard Times, hard times, come again no more
- Many days you have lingered around my cabin door;
- Oh hard times come again no more.
- While we seek mirth and beauty and music light and gay,
- There are frail forms fainting at the door;
- Though their voices are silent, their pleading looks will say
- Oh hard times come again no more.
- There’s a pale drooping maiden who toils her life away,
- With a worn heart whose better days are o’er:
- Though her voice would be merry, ’tis sighing all the day,
- Oh hard times come again no more.
- Tis a sigh that is wafted across the troubled wave,
- Tis a wail that is heard upon the shore
- Tis a dirge that is murmured around the lowly grave
- Oh hard times come again no more.
- Lyrics: Stephen Foster (1826-1864).
