Stand in the stirrup, clutch their arms,

And bare bright arms all instantly.

But he, he slowly turns, and he

Looks all his full soul in her face.

He does not shout, he does not say,

But sits serenely in his place

A time, then slowly turns, looks back

Between the trim-bough'd tamarack,

And up the winding mountain way,

To where the long strong grasses lay.
