Ah, old am I—why did I lose my youth?
Weakness and frailty woo my blood, in truth.
Old, weak am I, as winter’s cold lays me bare.
O’er my rebellious spirit, no tale to share.
Age is a frosty winter, lon'ly and lame.

Old, weak am I, as winter’s cold lays me bare.
O’er my rebellious spirit, no tale to share.
Age is a frosty winter, lon'ly and lame.
Everything it touches, it truly tames.
All is but sullen sorrow. Where’s tomorrow?
Gone are the nimble steps, and gone my friends.
Weary bones desc'nd to graves, and without am'nds.
The chant I hear -O! What foul play is here?
