- Winter ¢ comes, as winter 
Bringing dark days, 
But the apple is in vogue 
At the Christmas-time ; 
At the merry Christmas-time 
Folks are full of glee; 
Then they bring out apples prime, 
Of the primest tree ; ie, 
Then you the roast-apple see, 
While they toast the apple-tree, 
Singing, with a jolly chime, 
Of the brave old apple-tree!
