 Out Where the West Begins

~Arthur Chapman

Out where the handclasp's a little stronger,
Out where the smile dwells a little longer.
   That's where the West begins;
Out where the sun is a little brighter,
Where the snows that fall are a trifle whiter,
Where the bonds of home are a wee bit tighter,--
   That's where the West begins.

Out where the skies are a trifle bluer,
Out where friendship's a little truer;
   That's where the West begins;
Out where a fresher breeze is blowing,
Where there's laughter in every streamlet flowing,
Where there's more of reaping and less of sowing,--
   That's where the West begins.

Out where the world is in the making,
Where fewer hearts in despair are aching;
   That's where the West begins;
Where there's more of singing and less of sighing,
Where there's more of giving and less of buying,--
And a man makes friends without half trying,
   That's where the West begins.
