Analysis of Camelbacks of Peavine



The camel-backs of Peavine,
                                           are part of an ancient band.

Surely they were placed there,
                                           by a strong and ancient Hand.

We see their campfires gleaming
                                           and winking in the night.

For those of us in Reno-town,
                                            'tis a warm and cheery sight.

We'll keep the night-watch with them,
                                            and await the early dawn.

Hoping that by morning's light, we'll find,
                                            that indeed;
                                                      They have not gone:
