Home Song for Montana by Leonard Bacon
A Harper's Weekly poem about returning to Montana. The speaker recalls the Treasure State as he sits amid city sprawl and mud, envisioning sapphire mountains, cattle, and the open plains. He longs to ride west by Sweet Grass Creek toward Crazy Peak and Two Dot, seeking open air and home on the range.
