THE LONG TRAIL: CALLING THE CHILDREN HOME, by                    
First Line: So the long trail sleeps. But fast and far
Last Line: Mother-mine calling the children home!
Subject(s): Prairies; Roads; Plains; Paths; Trails


So the long trail sleeps. But fast and far
Reverberates "War!" and "War!" and "War!"
Rumours and reckonings and summons that come—
Mother-mine calling the children home!
