She sank upon the snow. But Bruin + 

Adroitly seized and carried her; + 

Submissive as if in a swoon, + 

She cannot draw a breath or stir. + 

He dragged her by a forest road + 

Till amid trees a hovel showed, + 

By barren snow heaped up and bound, + 

A tangled wilderness around. + 

Bright blazed the window of the place, + 

Within resounded shriek and shout: + 

“My chum lives here,” Bruin grunts out. + 

“Warm yourself here a little space!” + 

Straight for the entrance then he made + 

And her upon the threshold laid. + 
