We Ride North, Awaken

Set aside dull labour, set aside cold pleasure We ride for the mountains, for the evergreen treasure Ah! The call of the Lord of the Snows has come We ride North, awaken! We ride North! Set aside raiment of silk, set aside flag of white We ride for the mountains, for every man’s birthright Ah! The call of the Lord of the Winds has come We ride North, awaken! We ride North! Set aside frail keening, set aside menial care We ride for the mountains, for revenge on an old despair Ah! The call of the Lord of the Snows has come We ride North, awaken! We ride North! Rosamundi, Rosamundi, Rose of all the World We ride for the mountains, for the planting of the flag unfurled Ah! The call of the Lord of the Thorns has come We ride North, awaken! We ride North!
