Hard Times
Performed by: an unknown Fae Bard
Let us pause in life's pleasures and count its many tears
Place/Gathering : Feast of Chimeron XVII Date: May 2nd, 1002 M.R. Original by/Sung to: Eastmountainsouth While we all sup sorrow with the poor There's a song that will linger forever in our ears Oh, hard times come again no more 'tis a song, a sigh of the weary: "Hard times, hard times come again no more! Many days you have lingered around my cabin door... Oh, hard times come again no more!" While we seek mirth and beauty And music light and gay There are frail ones fainting at the door Though their voices are silent Their pleading looks will say "Oh, hard times come again no more!" 'tis a song, a sigh of the weary: "Hard times! Hard times... come again no more! Many days you have lingered around my cabin door... Oh, hard times come again no more." 'tis a sigh that is wafted across the troubled wave 'tis a wail that is heard upon the shore 'tis a dirge that is murmured around the lowly grave "Oh, hard times... come again no more." 'tis a song a sigh of the weary: Hard times! Hard times! Come again no more! Many days you have lingered around my cabin door... Oh, hard times! Come again no more... Oh, hard times... come again no more..." |
