When the year is blithe and young,

Happiness on every tongue—

After winter’s icy chains

Lose their hold upon the plains;

When the waters, rippling on,

Tell the power of winter gone—

Spring leads him her willing slave,

Then lay me in the quiet grave;

Loved ones do not come and weep,

For I shall only be asleep;

Roses heap upon the mound,

And I shall rest both sweet and sound.

Let no heart for me be aching,

Christ will see to my awaking.

December

The skies o’ercast and fierce winds blow,

Their chilling breath thro’ leafless trees,

Streams fetter-bound in icy chains,

And frosty net-work on the panes.

The birds have sought a summer clime,

Each tender floweret, bud and vine,

Has hid away with timid fear,

For lo, December days are here!

The blazing logs are heard to crack,

And all the grain is garnered now.

Judge Not

Perchance, the friend who cheered thy early years,

Has yielded to the tempter’s power;

Yet, why shrink back and draw away thy skirt,

As though her very touch would do thee hurt?

Wilt thou prove stronger in temptation’s hour?
