The winters come and go;

The wind sweeps past with mournful cry, dear Paul,

And pelt my face with snow.

But there’s no snow upon the heart, dear Paul.

’Tis summer always there;

Those early loves throw sunshine over all,

And sweeten memories dear.

I’ve kept you ever in my heart, dear Paul.

Through years of good and ill;

Our souls could not be torn apart, dear Paul,
