THE LONG TRAIL: THE RANGE by ELIZABETH SEWELL HILL

First Line: OR THE DULL GAZE LIFTS
Last Line: TO WARMER CRESTS WITH THEIR GLIMPSE OF SEA.
Subject(s): COWBOYS; FARM LIFE; AGRICULTURE; FARMERS;
Or the dull gaze lifts
To the mountain valleys, where fine and swift
Leap visions of wealth and home and pride,
Where the great slopes call and the cow-boys ride
To the herd's stampede; or the wider range
Of slope on slope winding steep and strange
To newer lands, till the peaks fall free
To warmer crests with their glimpse of sea.
