•Where the heifers browse, and the geese nip their food
with short jerks;
•Where the sundown shadows lengthen over the limitless
and lonesome prairie,
• Where the herds
of buffalo make a crawling spread of the square miles far and
near;
• Where the
hummingbird shimmers . . . . where the neck of the longlived swan is
curving and winding
•Where the laughing-gull scoots by the slappy shore and
laughs her near-human laugh
. . .
