ALONE

O, O, the winter wind, the North wind —

My snow-bird, where art thou gone?

O, O the wailing wind, the night wind —

The cold nest; I am alone.

O, O my snow-bird!

O, O, the waving sky, the white sky —

My snow-bird, thou fliest far;

O, O the eagle's cry, the wild cry —

My lost love, my lonely star.

O, O my snow-bird!
