Quatrain of Montana - Yorktown Disciple

Quatrain of Montana

Montana (1889)

O! Thy sweeping plains, the
mountains that form my
ideas of strength and
conquest,

I love this Northern State
with miles of wilderness
and blood of freedom -
a flowing test.

For I am the epitome of the
rugged individual, the last
of the pioneers to claim
my herd,

I find my fortune in Montana's
Spirit even though my
cowboy hat may seem
absurd.

Yorktown Disciple.
