THE MUSTER.

We ford the creek and need no bridge,

And climb a steep and scrubby ridge,

And then, boys, there's a sight!—

The "gully," by the sun unkist,

Beneath lies rolled in gleaming mist

And flowing waves of light;

As yet untouched by noon-tide heat,

Like rocks where broken waters meet,

'Tis wrapped as by a winding sheet
