He was a decent scout:

We tramped the hills together,

Season in and season out 

In fair and stormy weather.

We hunted high and low 

For silver,

gold and copper,

Cursing flies and brush and snow,

In language strong,

but proper.

We failed to make a find

Our empty nests to feather;

Still we thought that was kind to let us tramp to gether.

 

因他搜索能力不俗

我倆一同穿山越嶺

不分寒暑春秋 

晴雨風雪無阻

上山下海出擊

搜尋銀光

銅與金

咒罵蒼蠅、荊棘與風雨

言詞苛刻

卻有禮

雖然兩手空空

空巢仍待妝點

卻彼此相惜，結伴跋涉如何幸運
