When good fellows get together
With a stein on the table and a good song ringing clear.

Into our souls the secret of your power!

The splendid summer of its noiseless might.

Along the Trail (1898)

I have need of the sky,
I have business with the grass;
I will up and get me away where the hawk is wheeling
Lone and high,
And the slow clouds go by.
I will get me away to the waters that glass
The clouds as they pass.
I will get me away to the woods.
