The Glory Trail
" Oh, glory be to me," sighs he.
" He kaint be drug to death,
But now I know beyond a doubt
Them heroes I have read about
Was only fools that stuck it out
To end of mortal breath"
'Way high up the Mogollons
A prospect man did swear
That moon dreams melted down his bones
And hoisted up his hair :
A ribby cow-hawse thundered by,
A lion trailed along,
A rider, ga'nt, but chin on high,
Yelled out a crazy song.
" Oh, glory be to me! " cries he,
"And to my noble noose!
0  stranger, tell my pards below
1  took a rampin} dream in tow,
And if I never lay him low,
Fll never turn him loose!"
Charles Badger Clark.
