( For the improvement Era ) Over the hills, to the Sun-set land, With its skies of opal hue. Its shimmering lake that never is still. And its mountains, high and blue. ye who would reach the Sun-set land Must be as the knights of old: Pure of heart, of purpose firm, Steadfast, and true, and bold. For the road that leads to the Sun-set land Is rugged and steep and long. And he who lingers to grieve o'er stones » Chants not the Pilgrim-song. Forget thyself and blithely sing. Help thy brother, too, And thou shalt reach the Sun-set land, And the King will welcome you. Maud Baggakley. Waterloo, Utah.
