THE POEM THAT
MADE BIG Hit

ern slope,
Through this wonderful mountain
/ GUS land;
We had crept through the canons
deep and dark
And had gaZed on the river Grand.
And away high up. 50 near to the
clouds
Where the gorgeous red cliffs
! hang.
In that eagle eyrie we longed to
And to breathe without a pang.
Watch mountaini how queenly, how
massive and grand;
BY the pure Holy Cross you stand;
That cross which gave so much COM
fort and hope
To the Fathers who first crossed
this land.
Your mines had their treasures safe
hidden away
You thought, from the clear eye
of man;
But your silver and lead and your
sparkling gold
1t is always pleasure to scan.
For the men who here sought with
such earnest intent
w llH InuStlt anu DidN II anu Win
brain,
Have sought out your secret and be-
slowed on the world
The vast wealth which in you had
lain.
Each babbling, foaming and rollick-
ing stream
Dashing down each ravine.. to me
Sang ever the same bright joyous re-
frain,
I'm hurrying on to the sea-
The shrill fearful Shrek of its swift
iron horse.
AS he chung to his small narrow
road.
Seemed here almost proclamation to be
In these wilds of near natures
God.
Thus we club women have rallied
from mountain and plain
In Colorado's sunshine once more.
To greet, and to plan for another
years work,
And the charms of this land to
explore.
Your peaches and pears and grapes,
all so fine,
We would like to see on each
stand.
We know now where in richness they
bloom and grow
BY the beautiful river Grand.
The eastern slope with the western
slope
Here now have Joined heart and
kind hand.
We are one in our aims and one in
our hopes
