Here you will find the Poem The Men of the Open Spaces of poet William Henry Ogilvie
These are the men with the sun-tanned faces and the keen far-sighted eyes- the men of the open spaces, and the land where the mirage lies. The men who have learnt to master the forces of fire and drought and the demon Flood's disaster in the fields of furthest out. The men who have stood together and shared in the fight with fate and known the strength of the tether that holds a mate to his mate. Who ride with a gallant bearing where every saddle's a throne, and each is an emperor sharing an empire enough for his own. They are strangers to airs and graces, and scornful of power and pride- the Men of the Open Spaces, who rule the world when they ride.
