Bidding the eagles of the West fly on.

The fawn, prodactyl, and thing-a-ma-jig,

The rakeboor, the hellangone,

The whangdoodle, batfowl and pig,

The coyote, wild-cat, and grizzly in a glow,

In a miracle of health and speed, the whole breed abreast,

They leaped the Mississippi, blue border of the West.

From the Gulf to Canada, two thousand miles long—

Against the towns of Tubal Cain,

Ah—sharp was their song.
