A PRAIRIE DREAM
BY distant dune low hangs the moor
And DER the prairie grass
| The night winds creep-how sweet M.
sleep,
As softly they do pass.
The prairie storm purls through M,
dreams,
| And to its grassy brink,
| The antelope sly down the slope
| Comes for midnight drink.
| billet me stray my life away
Where man has never been,
Then sink to rest on Natures breast
| Unsoiled by social sin.
Where city smoke the morals choke
And life runs hot and red,
| Old Satan stands and chuckling brand
The dying and the dead.
