| We were visited last evening | Nos visitaron anoche |
| By a servant of the day | Por un servidor del día |
| He had travelled miles on horseback | Había recorrido millas a caballo |
| To scout his master’s way | Para explorar el camino de su amo |
| And he only had a moment | Y solo tuvo un momento |
| To warm his frozen hands | Para calentar sus manos congeladas |
| And though he needed food and rest | Y aunque necesitaba comida y descanso |
| He told us of his land | Nos habló de su tierra |
| And all too soon | Y demasiado pronto |
| He had to leave | Tuvo que irse |
| Else sleep might block his way | De lo contrario, el sueño podría bloquear su camino |
| And so he thanked us both, and saddled up | Y así nos dio las gracias a los dos y ensilló |
| And softly rode away | Y suavemente se alejó |
| And I thought I caught a glimpse of sun in his eye | Y me pareció ver un destello de sol en su ojo |
| And wheatfield in his smile | Y campo de trigo en su sonrisa |
| And I couldn’t help but a-thinking | Y no pude evitar pensar |
| They would follow in a while | Seguirían en un rato |
