To the Fir-Tree

From the German

O Fir-tree green! O Fir-tree green!

Your leaves are constant ever,

Not only in the summer time,

But through the winter’s snow and rime

You’re fresh and green forever.

O Fir-tree green! O Fir-tree green!

I still shall love you dearly!

How oft to me on Christmas night

Your laden boughs have brought delight.

O Fir-tree green! O Fir-tree green!

I still shall love you dearly.
