I	A
	-
In a nation of one hundred fine mob hearted lynching relenting repenting millions	B
There are plenty of sweeping swinging stinging gorgeous things to shout about	C
And knock your old blue devils out	C
	-
I brag and chant of Bryan Bryan Bryan Bryan	D
Candidate for president who sketched a silver Zion	D
The one American Poet who could sing outdoors	E
He brought in tides of wonder of unprecedented splendor	F
Wild roses from the plains that made hearts tender	F
All the funny circus silks	G
Of politics unfurled	H
Bartlett pears of romance that were honey at the cores	E
And torchlights down the street to the end of the world	H
	-
There were truths eternal in the gap and tittle tattle	I
There were real heads broken in the fustian and the rattle	I
There were real lines drawn	J
Not the silver and the gold	K
But Nebraska's cry went eastward against the dour and old	K
The mean and cold	K
	-
It was eighteen ninety six and I was just sixteen	L
And Altgeld ruled in Springfield Illinois	M
When there came from the sunset Nebraska's shout of joy	M
In a coat like a deacon in a black Stetson hat	N
He scourged the elephant plutocrats	O
With barbed wire from the Platte	N
The scales dropped from their mighty eyes	P
They saw that summer's noon	Q
A tribe of wonders coming	R
To a marching tune	Q
	-
Oh the longhorns from Texas	S
The jay hawks from Kansas	S
The plop eyed bungaroo and giant giassicus	S
The varmint chipmunk bugaboo	T
The horn toad prairie dog and ballyhoo	T
From all the newborn states arow	F
Bidding the eagles of the west fly on	U
Bidding the eagles of the west fly on	U
The fawn prodactyl and thing a ma jig	V
The rackaboor the hellangone	U
The whangdoodle batfowl and pig	V
The coyote wild cat and grizzly in a glow	W
In a miracle of health and speed the whole breed abreast	X
The leaped the Mississippi blue border of the West	X
From the Gulf to Canada two thousand miles long	Y
Against the towns of Tubal Cain	U
Ah sharp was their song	Y
Against the ways of Tubal Cain too cunning for the young	Z
The longhorn calf the buffalo and wampus gave tongue	Z
	-
These creatures were defending things Mark Hanna never dreamed	A2
The moods of airy childhood that in desert dews gleamed	A2
The gossamers and whimsies	S
The monkeyshines and didoes	S
Rank and strange	B2
Of the canyons and the range	B2
The ultimate fantastics	S
Of the far western slope	C2
And of prairie schooner children	U
Born beneath the stars	S
Beneath falling snows	S
Of the babies born at midnight	D2
In the sod huts of lost hope	C2
With no physician there	F
Except a Kansas prayer	F
With the Indian raid a howling through the air	F
	-
And all these in their helpless days	S
By the dour East oppressed	X
Mean paternalism	E2
Making their mistakes for them	F2
Crucifying half the West	X
Till the whole Atlantic coast	G2
Seemed a giant spiders' nest	X
	-
And these children and their sons	S
At last rode through the cactus	S
A cliff of mighty cowboys	S
On the lope	C2
With gun and rope	C2
And all the way to frightened Maine the old East heard them call	H2
And saw our Bryan by a mile lead the wall	H2
Of men and whirling flowers and beasts	S
The bard and prophet of them all	H2
Prairie avenger mountain lion	U
Bryan Bryan Bryan Bryan	U
Gigantic troubadour speaking like a siege gun	U
Smashing Plymouth Rock with his boulders from the West	X
And just a hundred miles behind tornadoes piled across the sky	A
Blotting out sun and moon	U
A sign on high	A
	-
Headlong dazed and blinking in the weird green light	D2
The scalawags made moan	U
Afraid to fight	D2

When Bryan came to Springfield and Altgeld gave him greeting	R
Rochester was deserted Divernon was deserted	I2
Mechanicsburg Riverton Chickenbristle Cotton Hill	J2
Empty for all Sangamon drove to the meeting	R
In silver decked racing cart	K2
Buggy buckboard carryall	J2
Carriage phaeton whatever would haul	J2
And silver decked farm wagons gritted banged and rolled	K
With the new tale of Bryan by the iron tires told	K
The State House loomed afar	F
A speck a hive a football a captive balloon	U
And the town was all one spreading wing of bunting plumes and sunshine	U
Every rag and flag and Bryan picture sold	K
When the rigs in many a dusty line	U
Jammed our streets at noon	U
And joined the wild parade against the power of gold	K
We roamed we boys from High School	J2
With mankind while Springfield gleamed silk lined	L2
Oh Tom Dines and Art Fitzgerald	M2
And the gangs that they could get	N2
I can hear them yelling yet	N2
Helping the incantation	U
Defying aristocracy	S
With every bridle gone	U
Ridding the world of the low down mean	U
Bidding the eagles of the West fly on	U
Bidding the eagles of the West fly on	U
We were bully wild and woolly	S
Never yet curried below the knees	S
We saw flowers in the air	F
Fair as the Pleiades bright as Orion	U
Hopes of all mankind	L2
Made rare resistless thrice refined	L2
Oh we bucks from every Springfield ward	O2
Colts of democracy	S
Yet time winds out of Chaos from the star fields of the Lord	O2
	-
The long parade rolled on I stood by my best girl	J2
She was a cool young citizen with wise and laughing eyes	S
With my necktie by my ear I was stepping on my dear	F
But she kept like a pattern without a shaken curl	J2
She wore in her hair a brave prairie rose	S
Her gold chums cut her for that was not the pose	S
No Gibson Girl would wear it in that fresh way	P2
But we were fairy Democrats and this was our day	P2
	-
The earth rocked like the ocean the sidewalk was a deck	Q2
The houses for the moment were lost in the wide wreck	Q2
And the bands played strange and stranger music as they trailed along	Y
Against the ways of Tubal Cain	U
Ah sharp was their song	Y
The demons in the bricks the demons in the grass	S
The demons in the bank vaults peered out to see us pass	S
And the angels in the trees the angels in the grass	S
The angels in the flags peered out to see us pass	S
And the sidewalk was our chariot and the flowers bloomed higher	F
And the street turned to silver and the grass turned to fire	F
And then it was but grass and the town was there again	U
A place for women and men	U

Then we stood where we could see	S
Every band	R2
And the speaker's stand	R2
And Bryan took the platform	S2
And he was introduced	T2
And he lifted his hand	R2
And cast a new spell	J2
Progressive silence fell	J2
In Springfield in Illinois around the world	H
Then we heard these glacial boulders across the prairie rolled	K
'The people have a right to make their own mistakes	S
You shall not crucify mankind	L2
Upon a cross of gold '	-
And everybody heard him	U2
In the streets and State House yard	V2
And everybody heard him in Springfield in Illinois	S
Around and around and around the world	H
That danced upon its axis	S
And like a darling broncho whirled	H

July August suspense	S
Wall Street lost to sense	S
August September October	F
More suspense	S
And the whole East down like a wind smashed fence	S
Then Hanna to the rescue Hanna of Ohio	W
Rallying the roller tops	S
Rallying the bucket shops	S
Threatening drouth and death	W2
Promising manna	U
Rallying the trusts against the bawling flannelmouth	W2
Invading misers' cellars tin cans socks	S
Melting down the rocks	S
Pouring out the long green to a million workers	S
Spondulix by the mountain load to stop each new tornado	W
And beat the cheapskate blatherskite	W
Populistic anarchistic deacon desperado	W

Election night at midnight	W
Boy Brian's defeat	W
Defeat of western silver	F
Defeat of the wheat	W
Victory of letterfiles	S
And plutocrats in miles	S
With dollar signs upon their coats	S
Diamond watchchains on their vests and spats on their feet	W
Victory of custodians Plymouth Rock	X2
And all that inbred landlord stock	X2
Victory of the neat	W
Defeat of the aspen groves of Colorado valleys	S
The blue bells of the Rockies	S
