Snake
Across the desert gray.
And on where old Fort Boise stood
When traders came to buy,
And mountains blue their masse
threw
Against the western sky.
Till then the desert lay a waste
The home of herds of deer,
With here and there a juniper
The lonely eye to cheer,
With ponds which reeked with alkal
Where lank wolves came to drink
And buZzards gaunt as hidden crimes
Croaked round the bitter brink.
And here and there bleaching skull
Far in the grim and gray,
Told where the fierce wild BannocB
hate
Had paused to have its way.
Far on the south War Eagle range
A mighty heave was cast;
And on the north the SawtoOth peaks
Against the sky were massed.
The rivers born in cleaning lakes
Came to the thirsty land,
And like a tale of love forgot
Went down into the sand.
Along the foothills dim and blue,
There lay a magic spell;
Like that which comes into the eyes
OF those who say farewell.
The melancholy brooded vaat
Upon the cloudless air,
A mingled agony of pain
Touched with a sense of prayer.
Wild flowers foamed the dimpled hills
Where reigned the virgin wild,
Pure as a nursing mothers breast
Or virgin undefiled.
On Camas Prairie blue with bloom
George Peck had made a home;
And welcomed all at so much per
Who CHANGED that way TO come.
Not far away Josh Winters built
A cabin snug and good;
And gulped his coffee and his beans
AS all good bachelors should.
Now Peck 1 think has kissed the
dust,
And laid him down to sleep;
No more to edo" the passer-by,
And not hope to weep.
Josh Winters like a summer dream
Passed silently away;
But where his trail or what his fate |
No one may rise and say.
On Chimney Greek some idiot
Blew in his little all;
And built cabin rooted with dirt,
And made a chimney tall.
And sat him down to till the soil,
Likewise to warm his shins;
and muse the error of his ways,
y And repent of his sins.
For soil on Chimney Creek was thin,
Likewise not very wide;
Two strips like burnsides by the
brush,
Three feet on either side.
But oh, to state the naked truth
Does cause me much to mourn,
You couldn't raise a rumpus there,
Much less crop OF corn.
The cabins gone, the chimney too,
Full many moons ago;
And lonely winds sigh round the
place
With melancholy woe.
On Little Camas by the road
Dad Bailey had a store;
He charged, and then he drew his
breath,
And then he charged some more.
And 1 am very loath to state
That in those pagan days,
We put Dad Bailey's spirits down
That our own might raise.
But after half a dozen shots
Of Bailey's dope l swear
Men fought with buzzards, creeping
things,
And wildly tore their hair.
From Rocky Bar the road came down
BY Boise swift and clear,
Where panthers screamed and cub
bears played,
And glanced the timid deer.
And many a miner panned for gold
Though few success might know;
Their cabins long ago have caved
From weight of winter snow.
And all that now their story tells
Are the time faded scars
they left upon the naked rocks {
And cleaning river bars.
Within a little narrow gulch,
Beside a bonny spring;
sure as the laws of gravity
The Toll Gate used to swing.
ohm Porter stood beside that gate
With many joke to crack;
