Página 52 - I've begun And give me work that's open to the sky; Make me a pardner of the wind and sun, And I won't ask a life that's soft or high. Let me be easy on the man that's down; Let me be square and generous with all.
Página 53 - im up and spur 'im till he's broke." Then one caper of repulsion Broke that hawse's back in two. Cinches snapped in the convulsion; Skyward man and saddle flew. Up he mounted, never laggin', While we watched him through our tears, And his last thin bit of braggin' Came a-droppin
Página 288 - I'ma pilgrim, and I'ma stranger; I can tarry, I can tarry but a night. Do not detain me, for I am going To where the fountains are ever flowing.
