Pioneer Refveries We are the new, the surging, dreaming Pioneers, Now standing on the mountain trails of life. We'll take our dreams as torches light to brighten Our way through years which bring both joy and strife. bk P14 Sk What are these dreams, these goals you've tried to show us? They seem like gleaming cities in the sun. Yes, you have said that we will be the builders I f weill but work until our journey's done. You who are the youth will lead tomorrow. Now you must learn to look and reach above- To carry all our deep traditions forward-H These things we leave with you-the things we love. Pk 324 214 Each of us along this trail of labor Must have a rest, to stop and sing and dance. We Pioneers have made new songs-without fear Have started out without a backward glance. :K 214 2? You are the young, the brave, the valiant Pioneers With fearless eyes, with hardy legs and strong. You lead us on in battle, and you carry, too, The dreams we've cherished through these years so long. 234 bk bk At last we see the crest of distant mountains, The land we've sought, and now the downward slope 5 For even now our yesterday's a dream- And our tomorrow-a gleaming vision of hope. -- Peg Carlson CONTENTS w .
