Excerpt from Rhymes of the Yesteryear: In Three Parts; Part I Reserve Reveries; Part II Round Up Rhythm; Part III Meditative Odes
Orn in the log-cabin days of Hoosierdom, rocked to sleep in a sugar trough, fed on mush and milk, taught to swing the wheat cradle and grubbing hoe, to dig ditch and split rails, to grub briars, pick trash and burn log heaps, to handle a single shovel plow from the time he was knee-high to a duck, to play shinny on thin ice, bull pen and black man and to cipher to the single rule of three; to eat out of the tail-end of chuck wagon, to live with comfort in a dug out, to stake his last plunk on a drop of rain, to teach the young idea how to shoot without bu'stin' the bar'l and take skinned duck and jack rabbit for pay, and glad of the chance.
