Introduction:
D A G Bm
I sit beside the fire and think of all that I have seen
D A G Bm
Of meadow flowers and butterflies in summers that have been
G A D
Of yellow flowers and gossamer in autumns that there were,
Bm G A D
with morning mist and silver sun and wind upon my hair.
A G Bm
I sit beside the fire and think of how the world will be

when winter comes without a spring that I shall ever see.
Bm G A D
in every wood in every spring there is a different green.

I listen for returning feet and voices at the door.
