0 Kaffe She's ugly, you say, old Butte is And grimy and bleak and drear? Why, partner, I never could see it. And I've lived here many a year. 'I'here's nothing pretty about her, But somehow she's strong and free. And big and rugged and well, comrade She looks pretty good to me. She's beautiful too, in her fashion In her wonderful, strange old wayg W'ith her chimneys and throbbing engines, Her hillsides marred and gray. Shels the goddess of wealth and power It's a thing my words won't reach, lt takes a man to express it . l'Vho's born with a gift of speech. But some clear autumn morning YVhen the air is like a sip From a spring of sparkling water That touches the pilgrim's lip Go out and look around you At the mountains against the skyg Those quiet immutable mountains - That carry their heads so high. And then as the day grows brighter, And the sky is limpid blue, They come in their grandeur closer And sort of reach down to you. And you feel, with a thrill of wonder That has no strain of pride, That you are one of the mountains That heart of the great divide. Then at sunset how they fill you X'Vith a sense of perfect. awe, As the colors bathe and light them N' ln faith with God's good lawg Purple and gold and crimson Painted by nature's hand, l can't begin to express it, But I think I can understand. And the city itself at night time lVhen seen from a distant place. XVith its many lights a-glistening Like flames on a snowtbank's face, They sweep in a grand crescendo, In glittering rows and lines, Till they flicker into the starlight That shimmers above the mines. Ugly and bleak? YVe11, maybe, But my eyes have learned to find The beauty of truth, not substance, The beauty that lies behind. Her faults and her sins are many, To injure her fair repute, But her heart and her soul are cleanly And shefs beautiful dear old Butte. -by Berton Braley I . F 5 l P i I ' 1 1 i 1
