Camelbacks of Peavine
Francis M. Faber Jr./Hayward C. Beach/WerterBuch/Zygmunt Zikorra/Hans Fabermann/Frances Marie Fabre/
The camel-backs of Peavine,
are part of an ancient band.
Surely they were placed there,
by a strong and ancient Hand.
We see their campfires gleaming
and winking in the night.
For those of us in Reno-town,
'tis a warm and cheery sight.
We'll keep the night-watch with them,
and await the early dawn.
Hoping that by morning's light, we'll find,
that indeed;
They have not gone:
