O Tan-Faced Prairie-Boy.

Part of the cluster DRUM-TAPS.

O TAN-FACED PRAIRIE-BOY.

O TAN-FACED prairie-boy, Before you came to camp came many a welcome gift, Praises and presents came and nourishing food, till at last among  
 the recruits, You came, taciturn, with nothing to give—we but look'd on each  
 other, When lo! more than all the gifts of the world you gave me.

Part of the cluster DRUM-TAPS.
