THE FIELDS ARE WHITE WITH SNOW
The fields are white with snow
No more plowing to be done
Cold, bare trees stand tall and still
Beneath the frozen yellow sun
Advent season has come and gone
Christmas carols are no more sung
While the tree is gone away somewhere
No more stockings on the chimney, hung
Why could not that jolly season last
And shall it ever come again, Oh now,
The new year's seasons shall quickly pass
And we shall soon make merry, once again,
O my friend
