Riding, riding

Riding, riding through the night
till sunrise comes again;
riding on a mare of white
with long and golden mane.

 

Riding, riding up a mountain
and I will not stop
riding till I reach the fountain
that is at the top.

 

Riding, riding through the day
until the stars come back;
riding on a mare of bay 
with a long mane of black.

 

Riding, riding down the mountain
with a pail, of course,
filled with water from the fountain
for my thirsty horse.
