I ride the horses and the beasts,
From east through west, to the east;
I traverse the same lane- the same places
- Greeted by the same faces.
Ever changing is the warpaint,
Guns marching into oblivion;
Then, there’s the stable saint,
The father’s son-the holy scion!
And the gleeful and the gay,
Whose dancing feet don't ever tire!
The-pale-hoping for another day
Groaning through the unending mire;
The face missed most, as I remember,
Is the one I don’t even see;
For when judgment’s don’t dismember,
Is the time I’m with me!
