1. The mixture sparkled, so my tears
Poured out in sorrow for them all.

2. Alone I bid the horsemen there
To leave and journey on their way.

3. Say to those travelers who have moved
Beyond my sight, whose absence fills

4. My heart, though blameless was my blood
Shed where at dawn they thought to kill,

5. No harm had come to them if they
Had stopped to drink, then ridden on.
