SONG OF THE ROVER PATROL.
Swing your pack, swing your pack, Rover
Patrol.
Far down the mystery, somewhere’s a
Soal.
Far down the luring road into the haae.
Into the blue of the long Far-Aways.
Rover scout, boy scout, quest in your
soul,
Shoulder your pack for the unknown goal.
Nightfall and solitude, Rover Patrol;
Cookfire and campfire and brown blanket
roll;
Blanket and starlight and wind in the
tree,
Night wind and stars are no freer than
we;
Crackle and firelight and red-glowing
coal;
Trails into slumberland, luring the soul.
Hint of light, fade of night, Rover Patrol;
River mist rising and filling the bowl.
Swing of pack, homeward track,
Every week out and back:
Gipsying, hiking. Just going’s our goal,
Off to the Far-Away, Rover Patrol.
-By CLARK ELBERT SCHURMAN.
