Rhyme Scheme: AABBCC DDEFCC GHIIC JJKKCC LLMNCC OOPPCC| BARE and sunshiny bright and bleak | A |
| Rounded cold as a dead maid's cheek | A |
| Folded white as a sinner's shroud | B |
| Or wandering angel's robes of cloud | B |
| Well I know well I know | C |
| Over the fields the path through the snow | C |
| - | |
| Narrow and rough it lies between | D |
| Wastes where the wind sweeps biting keen | D |
| Every step of the slippery road | E |
| Marks where some weary foot has trod | F |
| Who'll go who'll go | C |
| After the rest on the path through the snow | C |
| - | |
| They who would tread it must walk alone | G |
| Silent and steadfast one by one | H |
| Dearest to dearest can only say | I |
| 'My heart I'll follow thee all the way | I |
| As we go as we go | C |
| Each after each on this path through the snow ' | - |
| - | |
| It may be under that western haze | J |
| Lurks the omen of brighter days | J |
| That each sentinel tree is quivering | K |
| Deep at its core with the sap of spring | K |
| And while we go while we go | C |
| Green grass blades pierce thro' the glittering snow | C |
| - | |
| It may be the unknown path will tend | L |
| Never to any earthly end | L |
| Die with the dying day obscure | M |
| And never lead to a human door | N |
| That none know who did go | C |
| Patiently once on this path through the snow | C |
| - | |
| No matter no matter the path shines plain | O |
| These pure snow crystals will deaden pain | O |
| Above like stars in the deep blue dark | P |
| Eyes that love us look down and mark | P |
| Let us go let us go | C |
| Whither heaven leads in the path thro' the snow | C |
