Tired Tourist.

I've seen such sight of wonder,
in Colorado's hills, wild canyons
deep as thunder and peaks that
gave me thrills, that I am weary,
very, Of things that are sublime,
and for the old fiat prairie I'm
longing all the time. The noun
tains rise in glory, each with its
snowcapped dome; but back in
old Empory a fellow feels at
home; and when he's done his
labors, and earned his 50 cents,
he pow-wows with his neighbors,
familiar, kindly gents The noun
tains, grand and hoary, thoughts
high and noble bring; but back in
old Empory there is a creaking
swing, where l sit in my slippers
on pleasant autumn nights and
read of pirate shippers and most
enhancing fights. And often
when I'm gazing on peaks that
pierce the clouds, on mountain
roads amazing, roamed by the
tourist crowds, l sigh like all ere
alton. forgetting where l am, to
see the Katy" station, and look
on Soden's dam. You read the
grand old singers, whose stanzas
are sublime: and while you know
they're dingers. they tire you out
in time; and then you want
story by some plain, common
skate: and so for old Empory me-
thinks I'll emgirate.
