Darling, I am growing cold, Silvery frost the hills enfold, Sparkling on the ground it lay ; Shining 'neath the moon's bright ray. While it is so cold at night," ... And the frost lies silvery white - Don't bring me out here I pray, Let me by my fireside slay— : Oh ! my darling,.youth haß flown,.' And I have much wiser grown ; Yes, my darling, youth has"flown, I have much, much wiser grown. Darling I am growing cold,, &c. Love will evemore be cold— As in knowledge we grow old, Soon, too soon, we learn to know, .
