Land of the wide-spreading plains, where blue distance meets bluer horizon. Plains of the slow-grazinggame, herds without endnumber or where there stalks at his ease the lithe tawny terror, the lion ; wherePlains tlie air, fierce as wine, kindles the brain and the blood ; Plains where the freedom of space whispers softly of peace un- imagined ; Land of the wide-spreading plains, homage I lay at thy shrine.
