FOREST RANGER, by ALMA PALKKIE

Last Line: "the hay fields on a thousand farms."
Subject(s): Forest Rangers
First Line: A lonely ranger climbs his tower
Last Line: "the hay fields on a thousand farms."
Subject(s): Forest Rangers
A lonely Ranger climbs his tower
Again at his appointed hour;
And in the hazy distance sees
A blaze among his forest trees.
To him, they are as bosom friends...
Companionship that never ends;
He rings a call along the line:
"Come, save the balsam and the pine.
We need you here before it harms
The hay fields on a thousand farms."
