The locusts are lcafiess and bare;
The bleak world is mantled with snow
- j stand in the cold, wintrv air
And think Of the sweet '9ugago.
On dark, lonely house, o er the way,
The silver stars silently CLEAN;

1868 in a coyote patch, under the shade
of couple of cottonwoods by the road
side on the Arkansas (southern ColorndO),
without even piece of picket-railiDg to
protect the grave from the wolves, or
pencil mark on single for headstone,
to tell the traveller that Kit Carson sleeps
beneath it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson says; The
essence of all jokes, or all comedy, seems
to be an honest or well-intended half
