Alluring it lies at the skirts of the skies, And ever so far away; Alluring it calls: O ye the yoke galls, And ye of the trail overfond, With saddle and pack, by paddle and track, Let's go to the Land of Beyond!This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
