A fragmentary verse describes Jenny Wren's children as a secret dream of rich cap and finest down. It paints a crazy quilt of sun and shade with pillows of mows and thistle floss. The lilting lines suggest tiny heads at rest and gentle, sleepy singing.
F K Walts recalls his brother and partner’s brutal trek across Reese River country in January 1895.
