¶Lyrics / Text

1. Ho, a song by the fire! With a chum by your side; Ho, a song by the fire! With a heart open wide! Ho, a song by the fire! With a heart open wide! For the wolf-wind is wailing at the doorways, And the snow drifts deep along the road, And the ice-gnomes are marching from their Norways, And the white cold walks abroad. Refrain: But here by the fire we defy frost and storm. Ha, ha! we are warm, And have our hearts' desire. For here were good fellows, And the beachwood and the bellows, And the song on the lip In the pledge of fellowship. 2. Pile the logs on the fire! With a chum by your side; Pile the logs on the fire! With a heart open wide! Pile the logs on the fire! With a heart open wide! For the fire-goblins flicker on the ceiling, And the frost-witch glitters on the glass, And the spark-wraiths are springing, spurting reeling, And the sleigh bells jingle as they pass. (Refrain) 3. Oh, a god is the fire! With a chum by your side; Oh, a god is the fire! With a heart open wide! Oh, a god is the fire! With a heart open wide! For the room has a spirit in the embers, 'Tis a god, and our fathers knew his name, And they worship'd him in long forgot Decembers, And their hearts leap'd high with the flame. (Refrain)
