When dad has worn his trousers out.
They pass to brother John:
Then mother trims them round about
And "William puts them on
"When William's legs too long have grown
The trousers fail to hide 'em:
So Walter claims them tor his own.
And stows himself inside 'em:
Next Sam's fat legs they close invest
And when they won't stretcji tighter
They're turned and stortened washed and pressed
And lixed on me the writer.

Awake from your dreaming my sagehen awake.
The stars from the heavens are peeping
The moon sprinkles light o'er the alkali lake.
The birds in the mesquite are sleeping.
The coyote howls loud in the sage stubbed hills
The night hawks above me are soaring.
The lightning bugs flee from the swift whip-poor-wills.
While you in your blankets are snoring.
My broncho sped swift as the eagle it flight
In bearing me near to my fairy
His trail seemed a streak on the breast of the night -
As sharply his hoofs beat the prairie.
My heart was as light as the leathery kiss
Of the breeze on the lips of the daisy.
My soul wasaihune with the lightning of bliss
Till I thought it would sure set me crazy!
Awake from your dreaming you angel ol
For one who adores you here lingers.
Appear at you wiudow in robing of white
And toss me a kiss from you fingers.
Then once again into the saddle I'll spring.
And in music soul-born and sonorous
Of my love for the pride of the ranges I'll sing.
While the howling wolves join in the chorus.
