The Song of Jed Smith

"There was no hope of 'Diah turning back; He wouldn't listen to the gloomy talk among the men. "Yea, even though I walk the valley of shadow," said the Book. His face and eyes would have that freshened look, when he'd been riding out of sight a spell, as though he knew some good he wouldn't tell, just wanting to surprise us pretty soon."
