	We saw him on the bridle path,~~<br />~~		When the leaves were falling;
	We heard him gaily calling.~~<br />~~		We saw him on the bridle path,
	'Oh master, master, come you back,~~<br />~~		We heard him gaily calling.
	For I have dreamed a dream so black!'~~<br />~~		'Oh master, master, come you back,
	A glint of steel from bit and heel,~~<br />~~		For I have dreamed a dream so black!'
	The chestnut cantered faster;~~<br />~~		A glint of steel from bit and heel,
	A red flash seen amid the green,~~<br />~~		The chestnut cantered faster;
	And so good-bye to master.~~<br /><br />~~		A red flash seen amid the green,
			And so good-bye to master.

	Master came from hunting,~~<br />~~		Master came from hunting,

Master went a-hunting, 
When the leaves were falling; 
We saw him on the bridle path, 
We heard him gaily calling. 
'Oh master, master, come you back, 
For I have dreamed a dream so black!' 
A glint of steel from bit and heel, 
The chestnut cantered faster; 
A red flash seen amid the green, 
And so good-bye to master. 

Master came from hunting, 
Two silent comrades bore him; 
His eyes were dim, his face was white, 
The mare was led before him. 
'Oh, master, master, is it thus 
That you have come again to us?' 
I held my lady's ice-cold hand, 
They bore the hurdle past her; 
Why should they go so soft and slow? 
It matters not to master.
