Rhyme Scheme: AABACAAADDEECFGHIGBB JJABBKAKThrough 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 |
