The winter is growing worn and old
Ihe frost is leaving the melting mould,
Ano the sun shnes bright above.
Under the iee-under the snow,
Our lives are bound in a cTyEtal Ting.
BY and by will the south wind blow
And the roses bloom The banks of spriur
MOAN and groan IN thy letters strong,
RIVER of hte-river of love;
. 4he nights grow EhoTf-ths days grow ION n.
Weaker and weaker the bonds of wrong,
And the sun shines brightly above.
Under the ice souls are hid;
Under the Ice our good q, eds Crcw-
Men but credit the wrong did
Never the motive that lay Sciow
Moan and gToan ia thy prisUn cold
River of life river Of love:
The winter Of lie il gruwiug old
