The Fir-Tree
Tune, Fir-Tree (1799).
O Fir-tree green! O Fir-tree green!
How loyal is thy leafage! : Not green alone in summer-time, But green in winter's snow and rime! O Fir-tree green! O Fir-tree green!
How loyal is thy leafage! |

: The nightingale, the nightingale, You took her for your pattern!
So long as summer smiles, she '11 stay;
When autumn comes, she flits away!
The nightingale, the nightingale, You took her for your pattern.
