I saw the moon rise clear,  
I saw the moon rise clear,  
O'er hills and dales of snow,  
O'er hills and dales of snow,  
Nor told my fleet reindeer  
Nor told my fleet reindeer  
The way I wished to go;  
The way I wished to go;  
But quick he bounded forth,  
But quick he bounded forth,  
For well my reindeer knew  
For well my reindeer knew  
I've but one path on earth  
I've but one path on earth  
That path which leads to you.
That path which leads to you.
The gloom that winter cast,  
The gloom that winter cast,  
How soon the heart forgets,
How soon the heart forgets,
When summer brings, at last,  
When summer brings, at last,  
Her sun that never sets.  
Her sun that never sets.  
So dawned my love for you,  
So dawned my love for you,  
And chasing ev'ry pain  
And chasing ev'ry pain  
Than summer sun more true
Than summer sun more true
'Twill never set again.
'Twill never set again.

I saw the moon rise clear,
 O'er hills and dales of snow,
Nor told my fleet reindeer
 The way I wished to go;
But quick he bounded forth,
 For well my reindeer knew
I've but one path on earth
 That path which leads to you.
The gloom that winter cast,
 How soon the heart forgets,
When summer brings, at last,
 Her sun that never sets.
So dawned my love for you,
 And chasing ev'ry pain
Than summer sun more true
'Twill never set again.
