When the nights are crisp and cooling, though the sun is warm by day,

In the home-like town of Glasgow, in the State of Iowa;

It was in the railroad deepô of that greatly-favoured zone,

That a young man met a stranger, who was still not all unknown,

For they had run-countered casual in riding in the car,

And the latter to the previous had offered a cigar.

Now as the primal gentleman was nominated Gale,

It follows that the secondary man was Mr. Dale;

This is called poetic justice when arrangements fit in time,

And Fate allows the titles to accommodate in rhyme.
