Winter comes, as winter will,

Bringing dark days, frost and rime;

But the apple is in vogue

At the Christmas-time;

At the merry Christmas-time

Folks are full of glee;

Then they bring out apples prime,

Of the primest tree;

Then you the roast apple see,

While they toast the apple-tree,

Singing, with a jolly chime,

Of the brave old apple-tree!
