I would not have the wind pass by

I WOULD not have the wind pass by 
I would not have it rave, 
I would not have the wind draw nigh 
That whistled o'er his grave. 

I would not have the rain beat round, 
I would not hear the rain ; 

There is no comfort in the sound, 
No comfort for us twain. 

But I would have the snow drift high, 
And to my house-roof cling, 

So for a night at least we lie 
Beneath one covering.
