<p>Singing and spinning with joy of power,<br />
Roaring up hills and winding through ravines<br />
Is surely to be happy for an hour;<br />
How else can one grasp half so many scenes?

<div class="poem">
<p>Roaring up hills and winding through ravines,<br />
Gliding past meadows where the grass grows lush,<br />
How else can one grasp half so many scenes?<br />
So let us dawdle though we well might rush.
</p>
</div> +
<div class="poem">
<p>When underneath the hood is sixty horse,<br />
Singing and spinning with the joy of power,<br />
To roll along the smooth and level course,<br />
Is surely to be happy for an hour.
</p>
</div> +
<div class="poem">
<p>The open road’s a pleasure to the heart,<br />
When underneath the hood is sixty horse;<br />
I wait the moment when I may depart,<br />
To roll along the smooth and level course.

<div class="poem">
<p>I long for such a day to come once more,<br />
I wait the moment when I may depart;<br />
I part with romance at the city’s door.<br />
The open road’s a pleasure to the heart.
</p>
</div> +
<div class="poem">
<p>Over the downs where feed the scattered sheep,<br />
Across the barren uplands, sere and brown,<br />
Through woodlands where the western shades lie deep,<br />
And so at last we turn again toward town.
</p>
</div> +
<div class="poem">
<p>We drive until the evening wind blows drear;<br />
I long for such a day to come once more.<br />
The roar of traffic beats upon the ear,<br />
I part with romance at the city’s door.
</p>

<div class="poem">
<p>The clouds in glory round them spread,<br />
The sun in grandeur settles on their head.<br />
Winter stays to chill the month of May,<br />
The lightning fondly choose them for their play.
</p>

<div class="poem">
<p>On mountain height both east and west,<br />
For every living mortal there is rest.<br />
We view the peaks in contemplation<br />
Of God's great plan for all creation.
</p>
</div> +
<div class="poem">
<p>Of the peaks around both high and low,<br />
The one we favor most is San Antonio.<br />
We like to go up there whene'er we can,<br />
It's easy in a Studebaker Six Sedan.
</p>
</div> +
<div class="poem">
<p>If the mountains were never stationed there,<br />
We would not have the purified air,<br />
Nor would flowing rivers be sustained,<br />
If in the mountains it never rained.
</p>
</div> +
<div class="poem">
<p>They rise to proud and lofty height,<br />
Forbidding and dark are they at night.<br />
Their summits kiss the heavens high,<br />
They ever remind us God is nigh.

<div class="poem">
<p>The mountains grim forever stand,<br />
While men will roam about the land.<br />
Men are fond of other men to greet,<br />
Mountains never have been known to meet.
</p>
</div> +
<div class="poem">
<p>When we view the mountains all around,<br />
From their vast stillness not a sound,<br />
They seem just like some silent friend<br />
On whom we safely can depend.
</p>
</div> +
<div class="poem">
<p>No engines shrieking rescue storm the night,<br />
And hose and hydrant cannot here avail;<br />
The flames laugh high and fling their challenging light,<br />
And clouds turn gray and black from silver-pale.<br />
The fire leaps out and licks the ancient walls,<br />
And the big building bends and twists and groans.<br />
A bar drops from its place; a rafter falls<br />
Burning the flowers. The wind in frenzy moans.<br />
The watchers gaze, held wondering by the fire,<br />
The dwellers cry their sorrow to the crowd,<br />
The flames beyond themselves rise higher, higher,<br />
To lose their glory in the frowning cloud,<br />
Yielding at length the last reluctant breath.<br />
And where life lay asleep broods darkly death.
</p>
</div> +
<div class="poem">
<p>Some day again we will see the place,<br />
And, too, in our memory each one's face,<br />
In a Six Studebaker so easy and free,<br />
Where the old homestead used to be.
</p>
</div> +
<div class="poem">
<p>Pictures of those long passed away,<br />
Hung on the walls and watched our play,<br />
They shared with us in all our glee,<br />
Where the old homestead used to be.
</p>
</div> +
<div class="poem">
<p>The beauty that gathered in that dominion, <br />
Was though it had dropped from angel pinion,<br />
For the birth of Him who made us free,<br />
Where the old homestead used to be.
</p>
