PAST.
An endless stretch of arid plain,
scorching sky;
A yastness that benumbs the brain
And mocks the eye;
A loneliness the soul doth chain
Where bleached bones lie;
A silence pierced with wild refrain
A coyotes cry.

A smiling sky;
Cool groves that stud an emerald plain
Delight the eye;
Here sheltered school and humble
fame
And fair homes lie.
And echo to the sweet refrain
