From:
The snows they melt the soonest when the wind begins to sing
And the corn it ripens fastest when the frosts are settling in
And when a woman tells me that my face she'll soon forget
Before we part I'll wage a crown she's fain to follow it yet
The snows they melt the soonest when the wind begins to sing
And the swallow flies without a thought as long as it is spring
But when spring goes and winter blows, my love, then you'll be fain
For all your pride to follow me across the stormy main
The snows they melt the soonest when the wind begins to sing
And the bee that flew when summer shone in winter cannot sting
And I've seen a woman's anger melt between the night and morn
So it's surely not a harder thing to melt a woman's scorn
I'll never say me farewell here, nor farewell I'll receive
And you will set me to the stars, then you?ll kiss and take your leave
And I'll stay here till the moorcock calls and the marten takes the wing
For the snows it melts the soonest when the wind begins to sing
