Cardinals sang on the snowy branches,
So scarlet against the dark black night,
As the trees performed ghostly dances,
When the red planet Mars was in sight.

So scarlet against the dark black night,
The birds looked lovely under the moon,
When the red planet Mars was in sight,
And drifting to night's romantic tune!

The birds looked lovely under the moon,
The world was dreaming under clear skies,
And drifting to night's romantic tune,
And deep snows the landscape beautified.

The world was dreaming under clear skies,
As the trees performed ghostly dances,
And deep snows the landscape beautified,
Cardinals sang on the snowy branches.
