Pining for Pines-Side Tracked

Lumberjacks 1880's

" Gain to the verge of the hog-back ridge where the vision ranges free:
   Pines and pines and the shadow of pines as far as the eye can see;
   A steadfast legion of stalwart knights in dominant empery.


   Sun , moon and stars give answer ; shall we not staunchly stand,
   Even as now , forever , wards of the wilder strand ,
