A Winter Soma.

Winters at the door, yet my heart is
warm;
Though the wind blow loud and chill.
And the cold may threaten. it can bring
no harm,
For it ne'er can cross my sill.
! sing, l have a bonny lad,
And true as steel is he.
Come frost, come darkness, come ice and
snow,
All the world is fair to me.
Winters at the door, yet my heart is
warm,
Though the storm beat fiercely down
And where Love is ruler, naught can
bring alarm;
For we need not smile nor frown;
A-sitting by my bonny lad,
And true as steel is he,
The hours fly swiftly with their weight of
joy,
And the world is fair to me,
