A ROVER'S SONG.

Snowdrift of the mountains,

Spindrift of the sea,

We who down the border

Rove from gloom to glee,—

Snowdrift of the mountains,

Spindrift of the sea,

There be no such gypsies

Over earth as we.

Snowdrift of the mountains,

Spindrift of the sea,

Let us part the treasure

Of the world in three.

Snowdrift of the mountains,

Spindrift of the sea,

You shall keep your kingdoms;

Joscelyn for me!
