Let us pause in life's pleasures
linger forever in our ears
Oh, hard times, come again no more
Many days you have lingered
There's a pale silent maiden
Her better days are o 'er
Though her voice may be merry
She's sighing all the day
There's the song, the sigh of the weary
Many days you have lingered
Oh, hard times come again no more
While we seek mirth and beauty
The frail forms fainting at the door
Though their voices are merry,
their pleading looks will say
There's the song, the sigh of the weary
Many days you have lingered
Many days you have lingered
Oh, hard times, come again no more
Oh, hard times come again no more
