That the sheer loveliness of the moon, 1 Shining through the misty branches of The Cottonwood trees of Panguitch ? Will make us remember always. Broad and straight were his shoulder, Strong and great were his hands Muscled from daily toil since boyhood. A natural horseman graceful and tall He sat in his saddle. Never recklessly riding toward danger-Careful, cautious, Each action prompted by reason. His voice was deep, modulated, Not often was he the hero of his well told stories. "Would sound better if someone else said that." From his father he quoted. With him conversation was an art, Spiced by quick wit and gentled by courtesy. For he was a man of thought and judgment, Sensitive, tender, a lover of home and family. Notwithstanding, he braved the elements, Defied loneliness, slept under the stars, Weary long hours fought drought, danger, depression, To win shelter and bread for his loved ones. t Wind and sun his face burned; Sorrows scarred his heart; p Wounds wracked his mind and body; W But he stood high, A clean man, desiring righteousness.
