Though a cold wind blew from the distant sea,
And the desert was deep in snow

And the sun is sinking lower
Then I seem to see my dear old Western home,
And the long years roll away ain I play
Just a child again
With my playmates in the woods I used to roam
And at…

THINGS I MEANT TO DO
45410
It's true I haven't done a lot
To show my natural bent:
The things to judge folks by is not
The act, but the intent
The crop that measured scant and small,
The roof where rain came through-
Don't notice them They…
