THE PIONEER.

lie heard the call of Nebraska
The call OF the great midwest,
And he came from tho haunts OF child
To the land that he loved the best,
He came with YOUTHS ambitions,
And tho hopes OF a pioneer.
To win over difficulties
And to conquer the wild frontier.
The valleys. the fertile valleys,
The infinite plains Of green,
And the haze on the far horizon
Was an over alluring scene.
IL told OF a land Of freedom.
And a country of hope to all,
And he saw the unlimited future
And he came when he heard the call.
The heart will pursue enchsntment.
And he came and subdued the wild.
And the home that he found grew dearer
As the primitive was eXiled
Twas land with hearty welcome
To each and TO every one
Where he that was up and doing
was rewarded for what he done.
Twas country without traditions.
where man was known by his worth,
And where he was always honored,
No matter his rank of birth;
Where home though ever so humble.
Was a haven of peace and rest,
And the .sodhouse among the sunachs
Was the place that he loved the best.
But time in It's flight brings changes.
lie was young and the heart was gay.
Now the days OF hts youth are ended
ana the frontier mas passed away,
And he lives in n modern mansion
In plenty-he wants no more.
And the home OF his heart is dearcr
That he struggled TO win in yore.
The primedal days are over
And the new has the old replaced,
And a beautiful cultured country
Sprung up where the bison grazed;
The hum of the modern binder
And the scent of the gasoline,
They tell of an evolution
Like only his eyes have seen.
lie heard the call of the Nebraska,
And he came, and struggled, and won,
But the sun that was bright is waning,
And the day will ere long be gone;
Then let us extend him honor.
And reach him a hearty hand
While he awaits the reward of the faith
full
The call to a better land.
