Going-to-the-sun
Lindsay, Vachel (1879-1931)
[section]
WE START WEST FOR THE WATERFALLS
THE MYSTIC ROOSTER OF THE MONTANA SUNRISE
THE BIRD CALLED “CURIOSITY”
AND THEY LAUGHED
THE FAIRY CIRCUS
THE BATTLE-AX OF THE SUN
THE CHRISTMAS TREES
THE PHEASANT SPEAKS OF HIS BIRTHDAYS
THE MYSTIC UNICORN OF THE MONTANA SUNSET
JOHNNY APPLESEED STILL FURTHER WEST
THE APPLE-BARREL OF JOHNNY APPLESEED
THE COMET OF GOING-TO-THE-SUN
THE BOAT WITH THE KITE STRING AND THE CELESTIAL EYES
SO MUCH THE WORSE FOR BOSTON
THE ROCKETS THAT REACHED SATURN
MEDITATION
THE TRAVELER

OLD JUDGE HOOT OWL
Old Judge Hoot Owl sits by his inkwell
Writing wills for the wealthy and swell.
He knows something he won't tell.
Three little house flies, drowned in his inkwell.
Three little scandals in a peanut shell.
