Forty-five years ago when the man was young and the Henry Rifle was new

Forty-five years ago when the old man was young
The Henry Rifle was new;
And thru all the years has the pioneer clung
To the gun as a friend proven true,
For the Henry has shortened the wolf’s thieving life,
And taken its toll of the deer;
And in troublous times it protected the wife
And babes of the young pioneer.
Now life lies behind them – yet love smiles between –
The glow of the sunset grows dim,
But warm is the light and the prairies are green
In the place where she is waiting for him.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
The rifle comes down from the antlers where hung,
Together they pass in review;
The forty-five years since the old man was young
And the Henry rifle was new.
Circa 1918
