and the boys of the O R, R O, and Turkey Track

My coffee I boil without being ground.

The fire I kindle with chips gathered round.

My books are the brooks, my sermons the stones;

My parson’s a wolf on pulpit of bones.

The sky is my ceiling; my carpet’s the grass;

My music’s the lowing of herds as they pass.

--Ballad of The Trail Boss.
