First Line: Dust clouds and dragging hoofs
Last Line: Up the long trail to better pastures.
Subject(s): Cattle; Roads; Paths; Trails
Dust clouds and dragging hoofs,
Bawling, lowing cattle thirsting for
Their birth valleys where run cool sweet waters.
Tired horses impatiently biting at the dogies.
Lonely men dreaming of rest and a paseando
When they have entered the gates of the big corrals.
A calf staggers aside and dies.
The straggling line moves on
And crosses the horizon and is gone --
Cattle, horses and men passing forever
Up the long trail to better pastures.
