Eugene Field - At CheyenneEugene Field - At Cheyenne
Work rating: Low


Young Lochinvar came in from the West,   With fringe on his trousers and fur on his vest;   The width of his hat-brim could nowhere be beat,   His No. brogans were chuck full of feet,   His girdle was horrent with pistols and things,   And he flourished a handful of aces on kings.   The fair Mariana sate watching a star,   When who should turn up but the young Lochinvar!   Her pulchritude gave him a pectoral glow,   And he reined up his hoss with stentorian "Whoa!"   Then turned on the maiden a rapturous grin,   And modestly asked if he might n`t step in.   With presence of mind that was marvellous quite,   The fair Mariana replied that he might;   So in through the portal rode young Lochinvar,   Pre-empted the claim, and cleaned out the bar.   Though the justice allowed he wa`n`t wholly to blame,   He taxed him ten dollars and costs, just the same.
