with my head and that it. must be catarrh. As so many

THE LURE OF THE sAoEeRusH.

Dedicated to Queen Jess -
Have you ever scented the sagebrlsh
That mantles Nevada's plain?
If not you have lived but half your life,
And that half lived in vain
No matter where the place or cline,
You will sigh if you know of her velvet
fields
And their fragrance of levelea hay.
You will loiter awhile in other lands,
When something seems to call,
And the lure of the sagebrush brings
you back
And holds you within it's thrall.
You may tread the halls of pleasure,
Where the lamps of folly shine,
Mid the sobbing of sensuous music
And the flow of forbidden wine
But when the revel is over,
And the dancers turn to go,
You will long for a draught of the
crystal streams
That spring from her peaks of snow
You will ask for a sight of beetling
crags,
Where the storm king holds his sway
Where the shining sun with its brush
of gold
Tells the tale of the dying day.
And when you die you will want a
grave
Where the Washoe zephyr blows.
| With the green of the sagebrush abovt
your head
What need to plant the rose?
