CACTUS AND PINE

SONGS OF THE SOUTHWEST

Copyright, 1910
Sherman, French & Company

To the mother who bore my body;
To the land that mothered my soul;
To the Ultimate Guide who led me
Scarred through the battle, but whole;
Mother, and Land, and The Vision,
Stern trails where my feet were set;
Take these from the Price I owe ye—
Whose life is less than the Debt.
