Excerpt from Rhymes of a Homesteader Rhymes of a Homesteader The Sunflower Road There's a land of opal mountains, singing creeks, and springing fountains, A land of magic distances in hazy, lazy light, Where the pastel greens, and yellows, amberbrowns, and purple shadows, Make a glory of the daytime, and it's dusty blue at night. When the summer sun is burning, there a friendlyroad is turning, Twisting, bending, rising, falling - just a trailamong the hills;But't is bordered by the graces of a million goldenfaces, And the laughter of the sunflowers frees the heartof all its ills. Now the winter sws are driven through theland; the trail is hidden.Desolate, the white hills glitter under skies ofturquoise blue.
