STAG

THE year 

 Another sea- 

 andYanfelt 

 the hunter 

 more* Even 

 the talk he 

 have set him 



went by* 

 son came, 

 in his heart 

 fret once 

 had he not, 

 heard would 



all afire* 



It told of a mighty buck that now 

 lived in the hills the Sandhill Stag 

 they called him* It told of his size, 

 his speed, and the crowning glory 

 that he bore on his brow, a marvel- 

 lous growth like sculptured bronze 

 with gleaming ivory points*
