And under the boughs unbound
All clothed in a snowy shroud
She had no heart so hardened
All under the boughs unbound
Each feather it fell from skin
Till threadbare she grew thin
How were my eyes so blinded
Each feather it fell from skin
And I will hang my head hang my head low
(x2)
A gray sky a bitter stain
A rain cloud a crane on wing
All out beyond horizon
A gray sky a bitter stain
And I will hang my head hang my head low
(x5)
