TODAY'S POEM /, !
BUFFALO BILL


Son of the West, he knew her soul;
Lived her life, heroic and free;
Blazed her frontier way to her goal;
Saw in the future her galaxy.
Stars Respondent that rose on his
view;
Helped her to fashion her destiny
great,
Building untrodden empires new;
Known was he in each. rising State;
Pioneer trains he guided where
Else but for him in desert lost:
Indians he knew and of beasts the
lair;
Braved he all dangers, risk and
cost;
Kindred in soul to Carson and Boone,
Last was he of the Vests great
scouts:
First Of Rough Riders. wild West
dragoon.
Sealed he at last Deaths grim re-
doubts!
Lay him now in his rock-hewn tomb
High on the summit Of Mount
Lookout!
Sunshine, starshine, snow or bloom
Ever found him, our last great
scout!
Deeds he wrought that echo still
Name and fame of Buffalo Bilr'!
