And we follow the trails in the early dawn

Through the glades where the white frosts lie.

Down where the flaming maples meet;

Where the leaves are blood before our feet

We follow the lure of the twisting paths

While the air tastes thin and sweet.

Leggings and jackets are drenched with dew;

The long thin barrels are cold and blue;

But the glow of the Autumn burns in our veins,

And the eyes and hands are true.
