Oh hard times come again no more.
While we seek mirth and beauty and music light and gay,

With a worn heart whose better days are o'er:
Though her voice would be merry, 'tis sighing all the day,

'Tis a wail that is heard upon the shore,
'Tis a dirge that is murmured around the lowly grave,
Oh! Hard Times, come again n
