_ [C] _ Speed _ on, speed on, good master, _ [F] the camp-clay is far away.
We must [C] cross the haunted valley _ before [F] the close [C] of [G] day.
How the [C] snow blight [F] came upon me, _ I will tell you [Am] as we go.
[C]
Of the blight of the shadow hunter _ who walks [F] the midnight _ [C] snow.
[D] _
[C] To the cold December heaven _ came [F] the pale moon and the stars.
[C] And the yellow sun sinking _ _ behind [F] the purple [C]
bar.
The snow lay [F] deeply drifted _ upon the [C] ridges drear _ that lay for [G] miles [F] around me.
[C] The camp for [F] which we [C] stay, _ the silent on the hillside.
_ [F] Beside the solemn woods, _ [C] no sound of life or motion could break [F] this _ [C] solitude.
_ _ Save the wailing [F] of a moose bird with its _ plaintive [Am] note low.
[C] _ The skating _ of [F] a red leaf _ [C] upon [F] the frozen [C] snow. _ _
Said I, the dark is fallen [F] and far the camp must be. _
[C] Yet my heart it would be lightsome if I had [F] but [C] company. _ _
Then I sang and I shouted, [F] _
keep in measure as [C] I tread.
To the half twang of my snowshoes as they sprang beneath my tread. _
_ I fell into that valley _ [F] and I ticked upon my way. _
[C] When a dusky figure rejoined me in a _ [F] capuchin [C] of grey. _
Then I sprang on [F] my _ snowshoes with a long and limber [C] _
stride.
I hailed the dusky stranger _ _ as we travelled [F] side by [C] _
side. _ _ _ _ _ _ _

But no token of communion _ [F] gave he by a word our look. _ _
[C] And a fear chill it gathered over me at the crossing [F] of [C] the brook.
For I saw by the sickly [F] moonlight as I followed bend and [C] low.
That the footsteps _ of the stranger left no marks [F] upon [C] the snow. _
A fear chill gathered over me [F] like a shroud around me cast.
As [C] I sank upon the snowdrift where the shadow hunter had passed.
And the other trappers [F] they found me just before the break of [C] day.
My dark hair was blanched and [F] white _ as the [C] snow in which I lay.
They spoke not as they raised me for [F] they knew that in the night.
[Am] I had [C] met the shadow hunter _ I had withered in his light.
_ Saint Mary [F] speed us the sun is [C]
falling low.
Before us lies the valley _ of the walker of the snow. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
