Full Lyrics
Goodbye, goodbye, Old Winter gray!
Your reign is fairly over,
We’ll gladly change your snow and ice
For fresh green grass and clover!
Just for your comfort, Winter gray,
We hope you will remember
With how much joy we welcomed in
Your chilly grim December.
But ah! the green and radiant hills!
The meadows freshly glowing!
The streams imprisoned for so long,
So brightly, gladly flowing.
We mean to be polite to you,
And shake your hand at parting;
But dear Old Winter, gray old friend,
Please don’t delay your starting.
“Youth’s Companion”
