OF dashing daring skiing
OF breathIeSS leaps
Down snow clad sleeps
For con after con,
But only when the weather
For weeks and weeks together ,
Has been, so hot
That I could not
Find any snow to ski on.
I often have a notion :
To brave the gale swept ocean,
To sail away
To Baffin's Bay A
Or Skager Rack or Finland. !,
I harbor this bravado
When I'm in Colorado
A mountain state
Which kindly fate
Has placed some distance inland.
In dreams I am no stranger
To awful forms OF danger
In daring dreams
To swim wild streams,
Becomes a fierce obsess:on;
But in my waking hours

And highly prize
