COLORADO WEATHER |
|   |
| Good people all, both far and near, Come listen to my lay; If you believe all that you hear, You won't doubt what I say. |
|   |
| In Colorado, where I've been, I've often heard them tell, Snow on the ground was never seen... Save what from heaven fell. |
|   |
| So clear has been the atmosphere, I often could have seen New York or Philadelphia... Had nothing been between. |
|   |
| The climate many doth surpass, So pure and dry the air; No dew is found upon the grass... Because no grass is there. |
|   |
| The zephyr there doth often blow With sweet persuasive power; It breathes across your fevered brow At fifty miles an hour. |
|   |
| What pleasant days the people have They "customary" call; Such weather as might fright the brave Is termed "exceptional." |
