ROADS, by MARY MOORE
First Line: From the train the desert stretches to the sky
Last Line: Above forgotten graves beside abandoned roads.
Subject(s): Roads; Paths; Trails
First Line: From the train the desert stretches to the sky
Last Line: Above forgotten graves beside abandoned roads.
Subject(s): Roads; Paths; Trails
From the train the desert stretches to the sky,
Faint roadways wind across the bare scorched land,
No glimpse of trees, no flowers, nor flying bird,
No sparkling streams -- just sagebrush in the sand.
In the mirage of yesterday appear
Dim covered wagons lurching with their loads,
And painted horsemen sharp against the sky,
Above forgotten graves beside abandoned roads.
