1. \u201cReal Affection,\u201d by Robert V. Carr<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019d use a comet fer a bronk,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And ride him stuck-up like an\u2019 proud:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My spurs would be a pair of stars,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My blanket jes\u2019 a fleecy cloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019d roundup all the planets an\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019d do it sudden, sure an\u2019 soon,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then I\u2019d set back ca\u2019m an\u2019 watch<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Them mill around the helpless moon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. \u201cTo Her\u201d from Sun and Saddle Leather by Badger Clark, 1922<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To Her<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cut loose a hundred rivers,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roaring across my trail,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Swift as the lightning quivers,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Loud as a mountain gale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I build me a boat of slivers;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I weave me a sail of fur,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And ducks may founder and die<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cross that river to her!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bunch the deserts together,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hang three suns in the vault;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scorch the lizards to leather,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strangle the springs with salt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I fly with a buzzard feather,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I dig me wells with a spur,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And snakes may famish and fry<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cross that desert to her!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Murder my sleep with revel;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make me ride through the bogs<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Knee to knee with the devil,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just ahead of the dogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I harrow the Bad Lands level,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I teach the tiger to purr,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For saints may wallow and lie<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go clean-hearted to her!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. \u201cOverland\u2019s Delight\u201d from Songs of the Outlands by Henry Herbert Knibbs, 1914<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was underneath the stars, the little peeking stars,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That we lay and dreamed of Eden in the hills;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were neither sad nor gay, but just wondering while we lay,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What a mighty lot of space creation fills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our fire was just a spark; dot of red against the dark,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And around the fire an awful lot of night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The purple, changing air was as quiet as a prayer,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the moon came up and froze the mountains white.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was nothing much to say, unless my pal there, while he lay,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Got to thinking of his bronc-and-saddle days,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And a woman that he knew. He believes that dreams come true,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And they do, if I\u2019m believing what he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was Overland\u2019s delight, when we quit the road at night,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the birds were folding up their music-bars,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just to smoke a little bit; rub his chin a while, and sit<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like a Hobo statue, looking at the stars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then he\u2019d cough to clear his throat; strike a kind of chesty note,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not like preachers\u2014but just deep down near his heart;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And I think his dreaming eyes saw way up to Paradise;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, remembering me, he\u2019d nod his head and start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was all about some woman that he loved long, long ago,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And he loved her in a kind of way I can\u2019t just understand;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But if I could talk like he could, you could have my bundle, Bo!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For he talked like this, and, pardner, it was grand:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHer hair was like the sun that drowns the poppy fields at noon,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And there was something in her eyes too deep and pure to tell;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her lips were like the red of buds that greet the dawn of June,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blush of roses on a sun-lit lily-bell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA little motion of her hand was more than words can say;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It spoke a language all its own in pretty gesturing;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And when she smiled the flowers sang to see her smile that way;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It made a man hold up his head and feel himself a king!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI met her riding down the trail when morning-dew was young;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her pony\u2019s feet were castanets that dipt a happy tune.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Somehow, I took my hat off, just as if an angel sung,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As she came riding down the trail to greet the dawn of June. \u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She nodded, smiled, and rode along, brave-eyed and bright andsweet;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I stood and watched her in the sun and saw the silver stream<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Run down across the canon trail; and heard her pony\u2019s feet<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like castanets, now far away, still ringing through my dream. \u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Click, clink! a passing melody that melted in the air. .. .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And in my heart a whispering like meadow-grass at night,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When some lone wind is talking to the sleepy daisies there,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just wavering and wondering and waiting for the light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSince then I\u2019ve told her stories while she laughed and clapped her hands;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of Yuma and Sonora in the rich red days of old;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since then I \u2018ve ridden far for her delight, in haunted lands,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where desert ledges crumble and the sand is specked with gold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHave you ever loved a woman like the meadow loves the sun,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just contented to be living just because she\u2019s living too?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have, and never spoken, it\u2019s the best thing you have done;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then you know there is a heaven that is not beyond the blue.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I loved\u2014but did not tell her. It came time for me to go<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Almost anywhere, for her sake; so I drifted up along<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The northern trails where winter locks the passes deep in snow,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I dreamed of southern ranges and a land of sun and song,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhere a trail runs toward the meadows; where the poppy-fields unfold;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where the mocking-bird is listening to the patter of a tune<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rung by mellow canon echoes in a melody of gold,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As she rides along the morning down to greet the dawn of June.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes: \u2019twas Overland\u2019s delight, when we quit the road at night,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the birds were folding up their music-bars,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just to smoke a little bit; rub his chin a while and sit<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like a Hobo statue, looking at the stars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was nothing to be said\u2014for the talk had drifted dead,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And his dreams were done of bronc-and-saddle days<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the woman that he knew. He believes that dreams come true,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And I almost think they do\u2014from what he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. \u201cThe Tryst\u201d from Cowboy Lyrics by Robert V. Carr, 1908<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve ridden since the day throwed back<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The trailers of the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An\u2019 what fer, shall I tell you,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a stampede o\u2019 delight?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To wait out by the cottonwoods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An\u2019 dove-call softly to<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A girl I know will answer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m a-comin\u2019, boy, to you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Twas no time to spare my bronco;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His breathin\u2019 spells were brief;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He\u2019s white with foam an\u2019 shakin\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like the Chinook shakes the leaf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fer I\u2019ve splashed thro muddy rivers,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An\u2019 loped across divides,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An\u2019 ridden where no puncher<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his reason ever rides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thro\u2019 wallers caked with gumbo,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The buffalo once knew;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thro\u2019 water holes an\u2019 washouts,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An\u2019 a-boggin\u2019 in the slew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

O\u2019er alkali an\u2019 sage brush flats<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I cut the whistlin\u2019 breeze,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An\u2019 come straight as the eagle<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When his lady bird\u2019s to please<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m a-watchin\u2019 and I\u2019m waitin\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With heart as light as air,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As happy as they make \u2019em,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Either here or anywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jes\u2019 to listen fer her footfall,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An\u2019 hear her sweet voice thro\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The prairie silence murmur,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m a-comin\u2019, boy, to you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. \u201cJuanita\u201d from Trail Dust of a Maverick by E. A. Brininstool, 1914<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drear are the prairies; the ranges are silent;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mournfully whispers each soft, passing breeze;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Down in the canyon and eddying murmur<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Echoes the sigh through the giant pine trees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lone are the trails on the brown, dusty mesa,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Up where the gems of the star-world peep through;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sadly the night-bird is plaintively calling \u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Nita, Juanita, I\u2019m longing for you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Out where the herds dot the range in the Springtime;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Out where the flowers you loved nod and sway,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Memory brings me a vision of sadness,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brings me a dream of a once-happy day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the trails you are riding beside me,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under the canopied heavens of blue;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smiling the love that your lips have repeated \u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Nita, Juanita, I\u2019m longing for you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When steals the night with its grim, dusky shadows,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As \u2019round the herd I am jogging along,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your gentle face seem to lighten the darkness,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each vagrant breeze seems to whisper a song;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whispers a melody sweetly entrancing,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telling me, dear, of your love ever true;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whispers and echo which sets my heart dancing \u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Nita, Juanita, I\u2019m longing for you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
