THE TRAPPER'S TRAIL
Table of Contents
Only a scar on a sapling
That is almost overgrown;
A withered snag far up the stream
Where the ax marks still are shown.
This tells 'tis the trail of a trapper
Made many years ago,
So I take up the trail and follow,
And I care not where I go.
I follow the trail through the foothills,
To me 'tis as plain as a road,
For I've spent many years in the forest
And know me the trappers' code.
And I read as I follow this trapper,
That whoever trapped this line
Was a tried and true knight of the hills,
And I call him a friend of mine.
I knew where to look for his lynx sets,
And I found them, every one;
I found where he'd slept in his lean-to
When his day's long hike was done.
Then the trail led far up the mountain
