  • The Hiker "Have you hiked a pack through a drenching rain] When you thought it would be all fun? Did the songs come then, or the spirit lag? Oh! It's easy to sing in the sun. Did you carry your load, dog-tired and weak, Leave your camp site in excellent manner? Did you douse your fire, and leave no mark tvilling completely each lilile spark, Cut no live tree, strip off no bark? Then you've earned a sportsman's banner. For the miles you hike, and the loads you tote, Are not in the final tale. If you've played the game, the thing thai will coum Is the way you've behaved on the trail." —Anonymous "I sling my pack upon my back And take the outward, upward track, Where leafy branches intertwine, And stalwart fir and ivhisp'ring pine Pour out their pungent, strengthening wine; Or where broad fields and pastures lie Beneath the boundless summer sky. The brook shall be my drinking cup, A rock my table when I sup, Soft, fragrant balsam lay my bed, My pack a pillow for my head— The stars their myriad watch will keep ■ Ibove my bivouac while I sleep." —Charles Coleman Stoddard. {From "Shanks' Mare")
