The sun sinks low,
The golden glow
Falls slanting o er the tawny plain;
A gentle breeze
From far or seas
Blows gently Ger the wagon train;
A mellow beauty softly reigns-
The sunset on the Western plains.
The twinkling stars,
Through azure bars,
Look down upon the darkened plain;
The coyotes cry
And night winds sigh
Are blended in long refrain;
A mystic, wild enchantment reigns-
lis sunset on the Western plains.
Long rays of light
Dispel the night
AS slanting sunbeams span the plain;
Wild flowers fair
Perfume the air,
While westward wends the wagon train
