Excerpt: ... THE TRAIL O' LOVE My love was swift and slender As an antelope at play, And her eyes were gray and tender As the east at break o' day, And I sure was shaky hearted And her flower face was pale On that silver night we parted, When I sang along the trail: Forever--forever--Oh, moon above the pine, Like the matin' birds in Springtime, I will twitter while you shine. Rich as ore with gold a-glowin', Sweet as sparklin' springs a-flowin', Strong as redwoods ever growin', So will be this love o' mine. I rode across ...

Excerpt: ... THE TRAIL O' LOVE My love was swift and slender As an antelope at play, And her eyes were gray and tender As the east at break o' day, And I sure was shaky hearted And her flower face was pale On that silver night we parted, When I sang along the trail: Forever--forever--Oh, moon above the pine, Like the matin' birds in Springtime, I will twitter while you shine. Rich as ore with gold a-glowin', Sweet as sparklin' springs a-flowin', Strong as redwoods ever growin', So will be this love o' mine. I rode across the river And beyond the far divide, Till the echo of "forever" Staggered faint behind and died. For the long trail smiled and beckoned And the free wind blowed so sweet, That life's gayest tune, I reckoned, Was my hawse's ringin' feet. Forever--forever--Oh, stars, look down and sigh, For a poison spring will sparkle And the trustin' drinker die. And a rovin' bird will twitter And a worthless rock will glitter And a maiden's love is bitter When the man's is proved a lie. Last the rover's circle guidin' Brought me where I used to be, And I met her, gaily ridin' With a smarter man than me. Then I raised my dusty cover But she didn't see nor hear, So I hummed the old tune over, Laughin' in my hawse's ear: Forever--forever--Oh, sun, look down and smile If the snowflake specks the desert Or the yucca blooms awhile. Ay! what gloom the mountain covers Where the driftin clouds shade hov-ers! Ay! the trail o' parted lovers, Where "forever" lasts a mile! BACHIN' Our lives are hid; our trails are strange; We're scattered through the West In canyon cool, on blistered range Or windy mountain crest. Wherever Nature drops her ears And bares her claws to scratch, From Yuma to the north frontiers, You'll likely find the bach', You will, The shy and sober bach'! Our days are sun and storm and mist, The same as any life, Except that in our trouble list We never count a wife. Each has a reason why he's lone, But keeps it 'neath his hat; Or, if he's got to tell...

Seller's Description:
Good. 5th edition. Cloth. 221pp. Illustrated with the famous Montana ranching photos of L. A. Huffman. This copy has a 1921 Christmas gift inscription (non-authorial) marked out & a succeeding ownership signature written above it. Glued to the ffep under the signatures are two paper items, one with a typed quote from Lord Herbert of Cherbury regarding "a good rider on a good horse." & the other is a square (4") piece clipped from a book quoting comments about Sir Richard Burton by Lady Burton. Moderate wear to extremities; a brown stain on the back cover (covers are brown so it blends in I guess. A good copy thus. Clark was perhaps the best of the early cowboy poets & certainly at or near the top all time. He was Poet Laureate of South Dakota. No dj.
