	SPEED on, speed on, good master!		SPEED on, speed on, good master!

	... The camp lies far away;		... The camp lies far away;

	We must cross the haunted valley		We must cross the haunted valley

	Before the close of day.		Before the close of day.


	How the snow-blight came upon me		How the snow-blight came upon me

	I will tell you as we go,		I will tell you as we go,

	— The blight of the Shadow-hunter,		— The blight of the Shadow-hunter,

	Who walks the midnight snow.		Who walks the midnight snow.


	To the cold December heaven		To the cold December heaven

	Came the pale moon and the stars,		Came the pale moon and the stars,

	As the yellow sun was sinking		As the yellow sun was sinking

	Behind the purple bars.		Behind the purple bars.


	The snow was deeply drifted		The snow was deeply drifted

	Upon the ridges drear,		Upon the ridges drear,

	That lay for miles around me		That lay for miles around me

	And the camp from which we steer.		And the camp from which we steer.


	'Twas silent on the hillside,		'Twas silent on the hillside,

	And by the solemn wood		And by the solemn wood

	No sound of life or motion		No sound of life or motion

	To break the solitude,		To break the solitude,


	Save the wailing of the moose-bird		Save the wailing of the moose-bird

	With a plaintive note and low,		With a plaintive note and low,

	And the skating of the red leaf		And the skating of the red leaf

	Upon the frozen snow.		Upon the frozen snow.


	And said I,—" Though dark is falling,		And said I,—" Though dark is falling,

	And far the camp must be,		And far the camp must be,

	- Yet my heart it would be lightsome,		- Yet my heart it would be lightsome,

	If I had but company.''		If I had but company.''

			And then I sang and shouted,
	And then I sang and shouted,

	Keeping measure as I sped,		Keeping measure as I sped,

	To the harp twang of the snow-shoe		To the harp twang of the snow-shoe

	As it sprang beneath my tread;		As it sprang beneath my tread;


	Not far into the valley		Not far into the valley

	Had I dipped upon my way,		Had I dipped upon my way,

	When a dusky figure joined me,		When a dusky figure joined me,

	In a capuchon of gray,		In a capuchon of gray,


	Bending upon the snow-shoes,		Bending upon the snow-shoes,

	With a long and limber stride;		With a long and limber stride;

	And I hailed the dusky stranger,		And I hailed the dusky stranger,

	As we travelled side by side.		As we travelled side by side.


	But no token of communion		But no token of communion

	Gave he by word or look,		Gave he by word or look,

	And the fear chill fell upon me		And the fear chill fell upon me

	At the crossing of the brook.		At the crossing of the brook.


	For I saw by the sickly moonlight,		For I saw by the sickly moonlight,

	As I followed, bending low,		As I followed, bending low,

	That the walking of the stranger		That the walking of the stranger

	Left no footmarks on the snow.		Left no footmarks on the snow.


	Then the fear-chill gathered o'er me,		Then the fear-chill gathered o'er me,

	Like a shroud around me cast,		Like a shroud around me cast,

	As I sank upon, the snowdrift		As I sank upon, the snowdrift

	Where the Shadow-hunter passed.		Where the Shadow-hunter passed.


	And the otter-trappers found me,		And the otter-trappers found me,

	Before the break of day,		Before the break of day,

	With my dark hair blanched and whitened		With my dark hair blanched and whitened

	As the snow in which I lay.		As the snow in which I lay.


	But they spoke not as they raised me;		But they spoke not as they raised me;

	For they knew that in the night		For they knew that in the night

	I had seen the Shadow-hunter,		I had seen the Shadow-hunter,

	And had withered in his blight.		And had withered in his blight.

THE WALKER OF THE SNOW<br>

SPEED on, speed on, good master!

... The camp lies far away;

We must cross the haunted valley

Before the close of day.

How the snow-blight came upon me

I will tell you as we go,

— The blight of the Shadow-hunter,

Who walks the midnight snow.

To the cold December heaven

Came the pale moon and the stars,

As the yellow sun was sinking

Behind the purple bars.

The snow was deeply drifted

Upon the ridges drear,

That lay for miles around me

And the camp from which we steer.

'Twas silent on the hillside,

And by the solemn wood

No sound of life or motion

To break the solitude,

Save the wailing of the moose-bird

With a plaintive note and low,

And the skating of the red leaf

Upon the frozen snow.

And said I,—" Though dark is falling,

And far the camp must be,

- Yet my heart it would be lightsome,

If I had but company.''

And then I sang and shouted,

Keeping measure as I sped,

To the harp twang of the snow-shoe

As it sprang beneath my tread;

Not far into the valley

Had I dipped upon my way,

When a dusky figure joined me,

In a capuchon of gray,

Bending upon the snow-shoes,

With a long and limber stride;

And I hailed the dusky stranger,

As we travelled side by side.

But no token of communion

Gave he by word or look,

And the fear chill fell upon me

At the crossing of the brook.

For I saw by the sickly moonlight,

As I followed, bending low,

That the walking of the stranger

Left no footmarks on the snow.

Then the fear-chill gathered o'er me,

Like a shroud around me cast,

As I sank upon, the snowdrift

Where the Shadow-hunter passed.

And the otter-trappers found me,

Before the break of day,

With my dark hair blanched and whitened

As the snow in which I lay.

But they spoke not as they raised me;

For they knew that in the night

I had seen the Shadow-hunter,

And had withered in his blight.

Mother Varushka speed us !

The sun is falling low,

— Before us lies the valley
