Last Line: With me beside you through eternity.
Subject(s): Animals; Horses; Sonnet (as Literary Form)


They viewed the long parade of yesteryear . . .
Montana mountains, where you used to graze
On sparse brown grass you found in wooded maze
Or barren slope in winter, grim, severe.
They saw you standing lone on bleak frontier,
Wind-swept, in flurried snow or purpling haze;
Your dancing feet, your deep eyes raised in praise
To Him, when Spring began to reappear.

They miss you sadly, now that you are gone . . .
Montana mountains; but I'm sure they see
If they but lift their eyes, an emerald lawn,
A sparkling brook, warm sun, a friendly tree,
Where you are going on beyond the dawn,
With me beside you through eternity.
