Alternate Author Name(s): Pendleton, Robert Emmet
Subject(s): Travel; Journeys; Trips


My western land with all the thrill
Creation's pristine ways instil
In canyon, stream and waterfall,
Where joys are found, where hardships pall,
Has won my heart, has claimed my will.

Where chaparral bedecks each hill
And digger pines know every ill,
Enraptures me with strangest call
My western land.

With fierceness nature makes no frill
In taunting man with rugged skill;
And here, where oaks are spreading, tall,
My cabin stands, my home, my all,
With days of work and love that fill
My western land.
