Ho, Ye Warriors on the Warpath
Language: English
Ho, ye warriors on the warpath, Lonely, camping in a land of strangers, Ho,ye hunters,ye moccasin carriers, Ye who build the fires, All ye who have gone forth: Lest your hearts know fear in darkness, Through the ghostly chill of midnight, I send my thoughts to you. Ho,ye warriors on the warpath, Moving silent through the mist of daybreak, Ho,ye hunters,ye moccasin carriers, Ye who build the fires, All ye who have gone forth: Lest your arrows fail in battle, Through the tender light of morning, I send my thoughts to you.
