[Verse 1]
The storm came on before its time
She wandered up and down
And many a-hill did Lucy climb
But never reached the town
[Verse 2]
The wretched parents all that night
Went shouting far and wide
But there was neither sound nor sight
To serve them as a guide
[Verse 3]
At daybreak, on a hill, they stood
That overlooked the scene
And thence, they saw the bridge of wood
That spanned a deep ravine
[Verse 4]
They wеpt and, turning homeward, cried
"In Heavеn, we all shall meet"
When, in the snow, the mother spied
The print of Lucy's feet
[Verse 5]
Then, downwards, from the steep hill's edge
They tracked the footmarks small
And through the broken hawthorn hedge
And by the long stonewall
The storm came on before its time
She wandered up and down
And many a-hill did Lucy climb
But never reached the town
[Verse 2]
The wretched parents all that night
Went shouting far and wide
But there was neither sound nor sight
To serve them as a guide
[Verse 3]
At daybreak, on a hill, they stood
That overlooked the scene
And thence, they saw the bridge of wood
That spanned a deep ravine
[Verse 4]
They wеpt and, turning homeward, cried
"In Heavеn, we all shall meet"
When, in the snow, the mother spied
The print of Lucy's feet
[Verse 5]
Then, downwards, from the steep hill's edge
They tracked the footmarks small
And through the broken hawthorn hedge
And by the long stonewall
