Customize the cancel_comment_reply_link

As the title suggests, I want to modify or customize the cancel_comment_reply_link without editing the /wp-includes/comment-template.php.

The code in comment-template.php looks like this:

<h3 id="reply-title" class="comment-reply-title">
   <?php comment_form_title( $args['title_reply'], $args['title_reply_to'] ); ?>
        <small>
            <?php cancel_comment_reply_link( $args['cancel_reply_link'] ); ?>
       </small>
</h3>

Basically, I want to get the cancel_comment_reply_link out of the <h3> and <small>-Tags into a <div> container but I really don’t know how to achieve this without touching comment-template.php.

Is there a solution to include into my theme’s functions.php?

Thanks for any help.

Although the post says,1 year ago, but maybe someone needs to know how, so I will share my knowledge.

You may create a file, named comments.php in your active themes’s root directory and make changes to it:

<h3>Comment form title</h3>
<p><?php cancel_comment_reply_link(); ?></p>
<form id="commentform" action="<?php echo site_url(); ?>/wp-comments-post.php" method="post">
    <textarea name="comment" id="comment"></textarea>
    <?php
        comment_id_fields();
        do_action('comment_form', $post->ID);
    ?>
</form>
