Along the wild frontier;

The strong trail, the long trial,

The trail of force and fear.

For the stirring note of the bugle's throat

Ye may hark to-day in vain,

For the track is scarred by the gang-plow's shard

And gulfed in the growing grain.

But wait to-night for the moonrise white;

Perchance ye may see them tread

The lost trail, the ghost trail,
