![]() ![]() O beloved race in all! O my breast aches with tender love for all! We the surface broad surveying, we the virgin soil upheaving, Pioneers! O pioneers!įrom the peaks gigantic, from the great sierras and the high plateaus,įrom the mine and from the gully, from the hunting trail we come, Pioneers! O pioneers!Ĭentral inland race are we, from Missouri, with the continental blood intervein’d Īll the hands of comrades clasping, all the Southern, all the Northern, Pioneers! O pioneers! We the rivers stemming, vexing we, and piercing deep the mines within ![]() We debouch upon a newer, mightier world, varied world,įresh and strong the world we seize, world of labor and the march, Pioneers! O pioneers!ĭown the edges, through the passes, up the mountains steep,Ĭonquering, holding, daring, venturing, as we go, the unknown ways, Pioneers! O pioneers! We take up the task eternal, and the burden, and the lesson, Pioneers! O pioneers! Plain I see you, western youths, see you tramping with the foremost, Pioneers! O pioneers!ĭo they droop and end their lesson, wearied, over there beyond the seas? ![]() So impatient, full of action, full of manly pride and friendship, We, the youthful sinewy races, all the rest on us depend, Pioneers! O pioneers! We must march my darlings, we must bear the brunt of danger, Have you your pistols? have you your sharp edged axes? Pioneers! O pioneers! Follow well in order, get your weapons ready ![]()
