Dawn.
Above the mountains misty rim
The red sun rises.
The sage
Stirs with the sudden breath
OF morning breeze.
We draw near the fire
And drink and eat.
Needing no appetizer
But the frosty air.
Noon,
In the sky a molten sun
Glares pitilessly down.
On the sand
Heated to the heat OF Shadrach's
furnace
The desert lizard skitters to and fro.
There is no shade.
We stop the car
And eat a hasty luncheon from our
kit.
We drink and hurry on.
Night,
The mountains open wide their doors
Within the canyons dusky room
spring tricllles with music sweet
To motor deafened ears.
