ROUNDUP, by J. O. GARRETT First Line: The stars stop Last Line: That the big-hatted gods of the mesa live again. | |||
The stars stop. The game cock calls out the last watch And the ranch house answers back the hour With four lighted windows. Morning looks across thorn-covered arroyos. Fleeing shadows hide in the valleys. Wild cows and their wilder calves Sniff the air and listen... Because the corrals have spoken And iron-footed steeds tell the stones That the big-hatted gods of the mesa live again. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...FEELINGS OF A REPUBLICAN ON THE FALL OF BONAPARTE by PERCY BYSSHE SHELLEY THE BLACKBIRD by ALFRED TENNYSON LITTLE BOATIE'; A SLUMBER SONG FOR THE FISHERMAN'S CHILD by HENRY VAN DYKE THE VINE by MUHAMMAD AL-MU'TAMID II MARIA MINOR by MARGARET AVISON A SONNET.
