left the snow was deep upon the ground And I have
seen a spring and summer pass and now the leaves

would be coming down from Dover

still I hear no crying I guess in some strange way
she knew she'd never have a daddy's arms to hold
her And dying was her way of telling me he wasn't
coming down from Dover
