11Once more I hail thee, thou gloomy December!Ance mair I hail thee, thou gloomy December!
22Thy visage so dark, and thy tempest's dread roar; Ance mair I hail thee wi' sorrow and care !
33Sad was the parting thou mak'st me remember,Sad was the parting thou makes me remember,
44My parting with Nancy, ah! Ne'er to meet more! Parting wi' Nancy, O, ne'er to meet mair !"

66Fond lovers parting is sweet painful pleasure,Fond lovers parting is sweet painful pleasure,
77When hope mildly beams on the soft parting hour; Hope beaming mild on the soft parting hour;
88But the dire feeling, "O farewell for ever",But the dire feeling, O farewell for ever !
99Is anguish unmingled and agony pure. Anguish unmingled and agony pure !
1010
1111Wild as the winter now tearing the forest,Wild as the winter now tearing the forest,
1212Until the last leaf of the summer is flown, Till the last leaf o' the summer is flown,
1313Such is the tempest has shaken my bosom,Such is the tempest has shaken my bosom,
1414Since hope is departed and comfort is gone. Till my last hope and last comfort is gone !
1515
1616Still as I hail thee, thou gloomy December,Still as I hail thee, thou gloomy December,
1717My anguish awakes at thy visage so hoar; Still shall I hail thee wi' sorrow and care;
1818Sad was the parting thou mak'st me remember,For sad was the parting thou makes me remember,
1919My parting with Nancy, ah! Ne'er to meet more! Parting wi' Nancy, O, ne'er to meet mair !
