| The coarseness of my por attire | B |

| Pale Northern girls you scorn our race | D |
| You captives of your air tight halls | E |
| Wear out in doors your sickly days | F |
| But leave us the horizon walls | E |
| - | |
| And if I take you dames to task | G |
| And say it frankly without guile | H |
| Then you are Gypsies in a mask | G |
| And I the lady all the while | H |

| I court and play with paler blood | J |
| Me false to mine dare whisper none | K |
| One sallow horseman knows me good | L |
| - | |
| Go keep your cheek's rose from the rain | M |
| For teeth and hair with shopmen deal | N |
| My swarthy tint is in the grain | M |
| The rocks and forest knoww it real | N |

| The wild air bloweth in out lungs | O |
| The keen stars twinkle in our eyes | P |
| The birds gave us our wily tongues | O |
| The panther in our dances flies | P |

| You doubt we read the stars on high | Q |
| Nathless we read your fortunes true | R |
| The stars may hide in the upper sky | Q |
| But without glass we fathom you | R |
