¶Liedtext

Ho! yo ho! the winds are calling, Knocking at the cottage door, While I sit and idly fancy Many voices in their roar. I can hear the sailors shouting Where the seas are white with foam, While they think of children sleeping In their quiet beds at home. Ho! yo ho! the winds are sighing Underneath the cottage eaves, In the dreary darkness moaning, Like a tender voice that grieves. And the maples creak and shiver, Yet my heart can gaily sing, I have caught a sound of promise From the coming Spring. Ho! yo ho! the winds are saying, Spring is coming, full of mirth, You may hear her footsteps patter, Lightly on the frozen earth. Storms may wake and winds be wailing, Clouds be black with icy rain, Yet be sure the grass is creeping, Upward to the life again.
