‘Twas in the Early Days

‘Twas in the Early Days
by Susie Kerin
In the days when Colorado
Was like a growing child,
Fair and strong in hope and promise,
On brave men she often smiled,
Who came to seek their fortunes
In the mines, and diverse ways,
When adventure was in flower
To them “‘Twas in the early days.”
Denver was young and rugged;
Leadville from a tiny seed
Had grown to fair dimensions,
And there was no night in Creed.
Men had faith in all around them,
Every morning brightest rays,
Like a lighthouse near the harbor,
Beamed with hope “In early days.”
But their stories of adventures,
When hearts with hope were light,
Are receding in the distance,
And will soon bee out of sight.
But the children of the pioneers
Will recognize the phrase,
Often heard in tales and story.
“‘Twas in the early days.”
