WIND OF THE DESERT
By Carrie Fiske.

Wind of the Desert. Wind of the
 Desert, fly! Bitter your smile, your bony hand Is dry. See how the hills shrink at your
 touch of death! Withered the bough, beneath your
 scorching breath! Sere lies the grass that waved so
 lush and high Wind of the Desert, Wind of the
 Desert, fly! Drear lies the earth bereft of all she bore; Restless, the wave beats on the
 barren shore; Restless, the wave beats on the
 barren shore; Drained are the springs, and hush
 ed the canyons flood; Woe to the herds, for you will drinl
 their blood! Hasten! We hear their long and
 mournful cry Wind of the Desert, Wind of he
 Desert, fly! Wind of the Desert, Wind Of the
 Desert, fly! Back to your bed, beneath a blaz-
 ing sky. Darts there the lizard to your
 cracking touch, Cactus and thorn spear at your tat
 ters clutch, Waits there the snake coiled. with
 his glittering eye Wind of the Desert, Wind of the
 Desert, fly! Let the white mist, with her low
 sweeping train, Pass o'er the Yales, with promise of
 the rain. Go! Let the sea wind freeshen at
 our cali, Bright on our rooftrees let the
 blessing fall. With your swift flight a curse shall
 pass us by Wind of the Desert, Wind of the
 Desert, fly!
