Farewell Modestine
You are proud you are free to roam the dale
You are brave you are true
You have carried me through the roughest trails

Your my closest companion
My transport
My champion
My friend and my foe
And now I know why they call you a Beast
They day was tip toe
On the threshold of the blazing East

Go well Modestine
Your senses are keen and your temper's fierce
Its sad I must go
But I know
You'll shed no tears

You've carried the packs
Down forest tacks
Past steam and past brook
By hook and by crook and up steep incline
Carrying the load
By way of rocky road
With patience divine

Remember Modestine
All you have seen
And all you have done
Now I will tell
That you've proved yourself well
No mere beat of burden

Now let it be told
That my heart it was cold
But you've proved yourself bold
As we stood and behold
Saint Germain De Colbert

Your heart it is strong
As the road it is long
Or the mountains we skirt

Farewell modestine
You are proud you are free to roam the dale
You are brave you are true
You have carried me through the roughest trails

Your my closest companion
My transport
My champion
My friend and my foe
And now I know why they call you a Beast
They day was tip toe
On the threshold of the blazing East
