Subject(s): Animals; Death; Graves; Horses; Snow; Dead, The; Tombs; Tombstones
Over the wind-blown snow, drifting drearily,
Slowly the horses go, plodding wearily.
There's a heavy load in the team ahead,
For one of the mountain men is dead.
And heavy the hearts of those who follow
The long black box to the grave in the hollow.
