|
|
|

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 . . .
