An Old Song

By Thomas Samuel Jones

Low blowing winds from out a midnight sky,

The falling embers and a kettle's croon —

These three, but oh what sweeter lullaby

Ever awoke beneath the winter's moon.

We know of none the sweeter, you and I,

And oft we've heard together that old tune —

Low blowing winds from out a midnight sky,

The falling embers and a kettle's croon.
