The Faithful Broncos

Title:     The Faithful Broncos
Author: Hamlin Garland [More Titles by Garland]

They go to certain death--to freeze,
To grope their way through blinding snow,
To starve beneath the northern trees--
Their curse on us who made them go!
They trust and we betray the trust;
They humbly look to us for keep.
The rifle crumbles them to dust,
And we--have hardly grace to weep
As they line up to die.

[The end]
Hamlin Garland's poem: The Faithful Broncos
