The World Is Old Lyrics

1. The world is old to-night,
The world is old;
The stars around the fold
Do shine their light.
And so they did, and so,
A thousand years ago,
And so will do, dear love,
When you lie cold.

2. The world is still to-night,
The world is still;
The snow on vale and hill
Like wool lies white.
And so it was, and so,
A thousand years ago,
And so will do, dear lads,
When we lack will.
