THE CALL OF THE WEST
There's a feeling of Recreation
When you go to a different clime;
A spirit of Exultation,
Whether north or south of the line.
But to know the intensive meaning
Of a wonderful-beautiful time,
One must go to the Crest of the Rockies
To experience that pleasure divine.
Oh! The Call of the West-Youth's treasure-chest;
Hills and vales forever fair;
New lands, new faces, greetings happiest;
Glad songs welcoming there.
Oh! Call of the West from the Nation's Crest,
Where the great Peaks split the Tide;
Where West greets East by the Spread-Eagle's nest,
Atop of the Great Divide.
1920
