Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEE AFGFHEE IJKJLEE| I HAVE walked a great while over the snow | A |
| And I am not tall nor strong | B |
| My clothes are wet and my teeth are set | C |
| And the way was hard and long | B |
| I have wandered over the fruitful earth | D |
| But I never came here before | E |
| Oh lift me over the threshold and let me in at the door | E |
| - | |
| The cutting wind is a cruel foe | A |
| I dare not stand in the blast | F |
| My hands are stone and my voice a groan | G |
| And the worst of death is past | F |
| I am but a little maiden still | H |
| My little white feet are sore | E |
| Oh lift me over the threshold and let me in at the door | E |
| - | |
| Her voice was the voice that women have | I |
| Who plead for their heart's desire | J |
| She came she came and the quivering flame | K |
| Sunk and died in the fire | J |
| It never was lit again on my hearth | L |
| Since I hurried across the floor | E |
| To lift her over the threshold and let her in at the door | E |
