Quatrain of Idaho - Yorktown Disciple

Quatrain of Idaho

Idaho (1890)

Idaho! Rugged character hanging
like a six gun from the hip,
displacing greed borne
of earthen
bliss,

The natural and the ecclesiastical,
merge to form the future where
miles of breath are
traded for a
kiss.

Nature rules the weather, the
intellect rules man's pride
that comes from living
within an ancient
wonder,

Propitious omens created, for all
who work, especially those with a
gift for ranching or logging -
keep the Devil
asunder.
