205-One of the Reasons Why Colorado is the Playground of America
COLORADO
There's a place where une gold of heaven
Just drips when sunsets glow.
Where the picturesque pine and the coy columbine
And the timberline mignonette grow.
There's a region of wonderful whispers
That drift through the nation-old trees
There are purples and reds, in the shifting cloud-beds
That change with each echoful breeze.
There are valleys that yet are nameless
And mountains that spike the sky
And the regal blue spruce, that e're will produce
A charm to seduce the eye.
There are canyons that yawn as they grip you.
There are sentinel rocks austere-
There are operas unsung. there are pictures unhung
And silences made to hear.
Tis a storehouse of luring landscapes.
Colorado-the home of the dawn.
A rare land of fancy and true necromancy
Where fairies in vacancy spawn.
You have stilled us end thrilled us with wonder
You have shown us the old earth in youth.
From somewhere cut yonder, you taught us to ponder
On lessons of infinite truth.

Clem Yore, the author of this poem, whose
home is in Estes Park, is a well known writer
whose name is often seen in the leading magazines.
Colorado is a land of perpetual enchantment for
the lover of nature and the great out-of-doors.
There is a greater variety of mountainous scenery
within its borders than in any other state, and
46 of the 59 highest peaks in the U. S. are found
in Colorado.
