Greening Glade - Near Turah, Montana

"Yes! they have borne him to his native streams,

Where young-ey'd Fancy wove her fairy dreams;

To each green glade where Boyhood lov'd to roam,

Till Twilight came, and call'd the truant home :

And where is she who rocked him to repose,

And sang, and smil'd to lull his infant woes!..."
