First lines
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!
