A lonely man there once did live
Who all his family did outlive
His horse had ran two weeks before,
And now with silence did he war.
He resode in a desert town,
Empty, alone, and broken down,
Isolate and desert-worn;
The stars above did seem forlorn.
He was an unwilling troglodyte,
Who cried and couldn’t sleep at night,
Stuck out there and duty-bound,
Sworn to stay despite surrounds.
He then decided he was through;
A bullet through his brain did screw.
Two days later the wagons arrived,
And with them did the town revive
