Too far, alas! he has betrayed ye:

Follow the flames, that wave before ye;

Sometimes seven, and sometimes one;

Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry on.

See, see the footsteps plain appearing,

That way Oswald chose for flying;

Firm is the turf, and fit for bearing,

Where yonder pearly dews are lying.

Far he cannot hence be gone;

Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry on.
