The few lines of this poem, even in cowboy lingo, are as eloquent as any from the most eminent philosopher.

Ethelbert on Faith

A' course I never seen it,
but I believe it's so!

Yet you yourself ain't certain;
an' you doubt me even though

thar's thoughts yer mind would ridee-cule
which yer heart just cain't let go.

Fer a heart'll harbor many truths
that a head don't woen't to know!
