Rhyme Scheme: AABACAAADDEECFGHIGBB JJABBKAK| Through the gorge of snow we go | A |
| Tracking tramping soft and slow | A |
| With our paws and sheathed claws | B |
| So we swing along the snow | A |
| Crowding crouching to your pipes | C |
| Shining serpents Well you know | A |
| When your lips shall cease to blow | A |
| Airs that lure us through the snow | A |
| We shall fall upon your race | D |
| Who do wear a different face | D |
| Who were spared in yonder vale | E |
| Not a man to tell the tale | E |
| Blow blow serpent pipes | C |
| Slow we follow all our troop | F |
| Every wolf of wooded France | G |
| Down from all the Pyrenees | H |
| Shall they follow follow you | I |
| In your dreadful music trance | G |
| Mark it by our tramping paws | B |
| Hidden fangs and sheathed claws | B |
| You have seen the robber bands | J |
| Tear men's tongues and cut their hands | J |
| For ransom we ask none begone | A |
| For the tramping of our paws | B |
| Marking all your music's laws | B |
| Numbs the lust of ear and eye | K |
| Or let us go beneath the snow | A |
| And silent die as wolves should die | K |
