Hattie
On Waco wings I've climbed above
The sordid morbid ways of meu;
I leave the fields and towns below,
And shape my better dreams again.

I view the peudant pond'rous world
From heights that dare and drift with Clouds
I'm closer to Some better selves,
Excellent, Singing, Soaring Crowds!

For dreams up there in hosts possess
The soul that longs to live its best;
They catch and fold one fortunate
To Waco wing, and dream, and rest.
- Nhoj Tsel
April 20, 1927
Possibly, none but you
could understand "Hattie"

Transcription Notes:
It is likely that the signature of "Nhoj Tsel" belongs to a man named John Lets, although I am unsure of why he would write his name backwards.
