I love nay prairies, they are mine
From zenith TO horizon line,
Clipping a world of sky and sod
Like the Bonded arm and wrist of God.
1 love their grasses. The skies
Are larger. and my restless eyes
Fasten on more of earth and air
Than seashores furnish anywhere.
love the hazel thickets and the breeze,
The never-resting prairie winds: the trees
That stand like spear points high
Against the dark blue sky,
Are wonderful to me; love the gold
4 royaI carpet. toward the sun, fit to be
The pathway of a deity
1 love the life of pasture lands, the songs
Are not more thrilling to me than the
Mad beliowing-or the shadow stride
Of mounted herdsmen at my side.
I love my prairies, they are mine.
From high sun to horizon line.
The mountains and the colo, ooid gray sea

club, he quits saving money. In keep
ing up with other members, he finally
has to mortgage his home if he stays a t
